The Philadelphia Orchestra is performing a free concert exclusively for college students! Join us Wednesday, September 23 at 8:00 PM at the Kimmel Center as Maestro Charles Dutoit conducts a full program of Saint-Saëns and Berlioz. Immediately following the concert, there will be a chance to meet and mingle with the Orchestra’s musicians, free food, and a performance by The Capitol Years!

Discounts, giveaways and free museums…oh my!
Philadelphia is rolling out the red carpet to welcome (back) college students to the City on Saturday, September 26 (that’s 10 days from today!).
College Day provides students with discounts in Manayunk, Center City, South Street and University City to help you explore the City and the places you have been dying to get off campus to try – without breaking your (parent’s) bank. Plus, there will be seven museums open just for you – free of charge. Visit one (or all seven) and get brownie points for your Art History class.
No concert this year, but there are over 100 other reasons (discounts and freebies) for you to get off campus. All you need is your college ID and your Campus Philly Discount Card.
Visit campusphilly.org/collegeday to plan your College Day itinerary!
For the record: Philly Foodage
Restaurant Week 2009 is rounding out week numero uno. Oh, yes—for all of you who slacked off and didn’t make it this week, there’s another one on its way! The powers that be have acknowledged the fact that we Philadelphians are a hungry bunch and have expanded the popular discounted dining event by an extra six days. In addition to this week, which started on Sept. 13 and ends tomorrow (Sept. 18), you can stuff yourself silly all over again starting on Sept. 20 until Sept. 25.
At participating Center City restaurants like Tir Na Nog and LaScala's you can get a three-course meal for $35; some, like Triumph Brewing Company and Bistro St. Tropez will also be offering three-course lunches for $20. What makes this event awesome is knowing that on any other day, you’d be paying double these amounts to dine at fine establishments like Table 31.
Check out Samantha Bokoski’s blog for a run down of what you can expect from this year’s Restaurant Week.
Bon appétit!
