Chinatown aiming for its own Restaurant Week

Meal Ticket's hearing that the Philadelphia Chinatown Development Corporation is approaching Chinatown restaurants right now in the hopes of organizing a 'hood-specific Restaurant Week for the fourth week of September. They're currently in the gauging-interest stage, so nothing is set in stone yet, but it looks like the PCDC hopes to gain enough traction to offer diners three prix fixe options � $10 for a three-courser (think small soup and app, then entr�e), $20 for a four-courser or $30 for a five-courser.

Please keep in mind that this plan is still tentative. But folks, if you live in/work in Chinatown or enjoy any of its many eateries, let the PCDC know that you'd gladly stuff your face to support something like this.

Yes, please!  I'll certainly be letting them know that I'd support this both early and often.
