During Dining Days, University City Is Fresh And Local
UNIVERSITY CITY, Pa (CBS) - University City District Dining Days are underway and, this year, the emphasis is on homegrown food.
The Clark Park Farmers Market is very popular with local residents (and with local restaurateurs) and for the 29 restaurants participating in Dining Days thru July 28th, local, fresh and sustainable food is what's important.
Mark Christman, communications manager with the University City district, says there's a lot to choose from, "There's really a remarkable diversity of opportunity here."
