Kitschier ‘hoods host their own Restaurant Week

Move over, Center City.

Less-fancy (but albeit up-and-coming, if you will) ‘hoods Kensington, Fishtown and Port Richmond are holding their own Restaurant Week beginning May 1. Twelve restaurants throughout the areas, which are located just northeast of Northern Liberties, will offer fixed price menus or $10 to $30 entrees during the week.

Haute hipster hangout Johnny Brenda’s at Frankford and Girard avenues on the edge of Fishtown and the ever-exalted Ida Mae’s Bruncherie in Port Richmond are two participants in the event.

From Main Campus, Fishtown, Port Richmond and Kensington are accessible by the Girard Avenue trolley and the Market-Frankford El (SEPTA Blue Line). And they’d be a cheap, quick cab ride if public transportation just isn’t your style.
