| Susanna Foo Chinese Cuisine |
On Saturday, June 13, Susanna Foo's landmark restaurant on Philadelphia's original Restaurant Row will close its doors. The chef and restaurateur introduced the now-ubiquitous style of "fusion cuisine" to our city 22 years ago, blending Chinese ingredients with classic French technique.
Guests who dine at Susanna Foo Chinese Cuisine between now and the last day of service will receive a coupon for 20 percent off a future meal at Susanna Foo Gourmet Kitchen in Radnor, where the chef will continue her tradition of creative fine dining.

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
