Hours Expanded for Rittenhouse Row Outdoor Dining Rooms
To allow for additional opportunities for both refined and socially distanced outdoor dining, Fall hours for Rittenhouse Row Outdoor Dining Rooms have been expanded to 4pm Wednesday dinner through 10pm Sunday dinner for as long as weather permits.
The three locations are as follows:
• Rittenhouse Square Dining Room (18th from Locust to Walnut)
• 18th Street Dining Room (Walnut – Sansom)
• 1500 Sansom Dining Room (15th & 16th Sts)
“This effort is a complicated balance between our fervent desire to keep our restaurant open and the city’s requirement for accountability during a global health crisis,” said Corie Moskow, Executive Director of Rittenhouse Row. “We have taken great steps to make sure pedestrian areas are clearly open, social distancing is enforced, and the integrity of the Rittenhouse Row dining experienced is maintained.
