Out with the old, in with the cold! Dilworth Park is ready to begin its annual wintertime transformation.
After more than two years of the work-from-home Zoom uniform of sweatpants and blazers, it’s time to enjoy the fun and creativity of dressing up again this fall.
Beginning June 1, participating locations within the Center City District will offer $6 cocktails, $5 wine and $4 beer every Wednesday after work through August 31. As return-to-office efforts expand, this unique promotion is the perfect opportunity to reconnect with friends and coworkers while supporting some of the city’s best culinary and entertainment venues.
Nearly two years after Philadelphia offices were ordered to close as the first COVID-19 cases were detected, and more than a year after vaccinations got underway, Center City and University City companies are continuing to adapt and remain flexible, while strongly valuing the importance of in-office work and a downtown presence, according to a CCD survey. CCD distributed a survey to employers to gauge their current stance on in-office and remote work, their plans for the first quarter of 2022, and factors they were weighing in making workplace decisions.
Mix, mingle and make it a night; Philadelphia’s favorite happy hour tradition returns this summer to offer the ultimate after-work experience. Beginning June 7 and continuing every Wednesday through August 30, Center City District (CCD) SIPS will highlight dozens of bars and restaurants as they offer exclusive discounts found only in Center City.
Following a successful launch in September, CCD is pleased to announce that Open Streets: West Walnut will return for two Sundays during the holiday season.
CCD is pleased to present the activation of the first phase of Pulse, a site-specific work of public art created for Dilworth Park by internationally renowned artist Janet Echelman.
CCD is resuming work on enhancements to the Discovery Garden, which will expand the park’s opportunities for play with new components that engage children from a broader range of ages.
This report details how workers in Center City and the region arrive at their jobs and the impact these choices have on Philadelphia's downtown economy.
