Philadelphia is buzzing with exciting new dining and leisure options this summer, as showcased in this week’s episode of FYI Philly.
The Center City District has initiated a delightful summer promotion called ‘Let’s Do Lunch.’ This program offers a fantastic deal at participating restaurants, where for just $30, you and a friend can enjoy a shared appetizer or dessert and an entree.
The initiative aims to support local eateries throughout the slower summer months and encourages social gatherings, helping Philadelphians reconnect over meals in the wake of the pandemic.
Available on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays through August 14, this deal is a great way to discover new culinary treasures in the city.
One of the highlights from this week’s feature is Almanac, located in Old City. This bar has recently earned acclaim as one of the best new bars in America, as recognized by Bon Appétit.
Almanac is praised for its intimate, speakeasy-style atmosphere and its innovative foraging practices, which blend Japanese aesthetics with a distinctly Philadelphia execution.
Following ten years in the financial services sector, an entrepreneur opened Ogawa Sushi & Kappo in the fall of 2023, later enlisting James Beard-winning author Danny Childs to enhance the establishment’s upstairs section.
With fine choices on hand, diners can indulge in high-quality sushi complemented by a menu of zero-proof cocktails.
Beyond dining, the beloved family-run business, Cambridge Pavers, continues to transform outdoor spaces in Philadelphia. For over 40 years, they have provided home improvement solutions, assuring homeowners that they can achieve their dream backyards while staying within budget.
Charles Gamarekian, founder and chairman of Cambridge Pavers, states that a well-designed outdoor space can increase one’s home value by up to 15%. With their unique Armortec technology, the beauty and quality of these projects are designed to endure.
Cambridge Pavers’ website features a Design Gallery filled with inspiration and a list of authorized dealers for those ready to start an outdoor transformation.
In addition to these dining and home improvement highlights, our partners at The Pocono Television Network invite viewers to explore Gouldsboro State Park.
Situated near Tobyhanna State Park in Monroe and Wayne counties, the park offers a variety of outdoor activities, including fishing, boating, kayaking, hiking, and picnicking at the beach.
Perfect for summer adventures, this park is accessible via the Frank Gantz Trail, which connects both parks for more extensive exploration.
Lastly, for those looking to bring summer flavors into their kitchens, Aneu Kitchens in Bryn Mawr shares a must-try recipe for Richard’s Chicken Salad.
Meredith Coyle, who has over three decades of experience in the restaurant and food business, enhances her father’s classic recipe by incorporating sour cream for added health benefits.
The listed ingredients include four free-range bone-in chicken breasts, organic celery, seedless organic red grapes, organic mayonnaise, and Himalayan pink sea salt, making it a delightful and nutritious summer staple.
Discovering Philadelphia’s new dining spots and outdoor adventures not only supports local businesses but also offers an enriching experience for residents and visitors alike.
