Suck it, Center City District. That's the message neighborhoods outside the Center City borders what are those borders these days exactly, anyway? are sending to the organizers of Philly's largest Restaurant Week, which, thanks be to God, just ended. Earlier this month, Adsum, Izumi, James and seven other spots the Center City District didn't ask to prom turned their jilted emotions into their own pre-fixe par-tay. In October, the River Ward districts do the same, though you could call the comprised nabes of Fishtown, Kensington and Port Richmond the originators of the alt-Restaurant Week, as this year's is the second annual installment. From Sun., Oct. 3 through Sun., Oct. 10, Johnny Brenda's, Hinge Cafe, Green Rock Tavern and others will offer specials and pre-fixe menus at various price points.
