Old City Eats is back – with a summer-long happy hour at a record 50 restaurants!

Old City District kicks off summer with the Old City Eats Block Party on Thursday, June 20th. Second Street will be closed down at Market from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. as dozens of Old City restaurants will serve up signature sips and tasty bites out on the street under the blue skies. The street will also come alive with live entertainment, bands and even an outdoor dueling piano performance.
