The happiest of hours: Center City Sips
 |
Wednesday, June 3 marks the kickoff of Center City Sips, the annual Wednesday happy hour that generates drinking dollars for dozens of restaurants during the� summertime slowdown.
Devised by the evil geniuses at the Center City District and the Central Philadelphia Development Corporation, Center City Sips is going into its sixth season of discounted intoxication.� $4 cocktails, $3 wines and $2 beers set up the brain and belly to consume some half-price apps and hopefully, stick around after 7 p.m. for dinner.
Though the list is padded with plenty of cheesy venues, a few cool kids are taking part in the promo.� Snag a prime patio table at 1225 Raw Sushi & Sake Lounge to best soak up fruit-infused sake and half-priced spicy tuna rolls and shrimp shumai, or try out the rotating craft beer feature and chef's specials� at Vintage Wine Bar & Bistro around the corner.
Jose Garces' half-Peruvian, half-Cantonese baby Chifa just earned three shiny bells from Grand Arbiter LaBan; use the Sips discount to sample the popular pork belly buns with hoisin glaze, pickled daikon & carrot and togarashi mayo paired with a spectacularly cheap Allagash White.
Center City Sips, every Wednesday between 5 and 7 p.m. at participating restaurants, June 3 through August 26; centercityphila.org
