Itinerary: Spots to warm up to before and after your skate

Itinerary_ToDo

A gazillion laps around the Rothman Rink, and stopping by these Center City spots will warm you up on a winter day. Enjoy food and drink from the Rothman Rink cabin or warm your bones with a frothy cappuccino from the neighboring La Colombe. For of age skaters, check out cozy classics, Oscar’s and Good Dog.

One more thing, it’ll be Center City District’s Restaurant Week! See below to learn more about the week and check out the participating restaurants.

Rothman Rink Cabin
Just steps from the north side of the Rothman Ice Rink, the new Rothman Cabin features Cuban burgers, French fries, hot chocolate, coffee, and much more! Skaters will be able to leave the ice without removing their skates to warm up and get food and drink.

La Colombe | 1414 S Penn Square
Get a coffee “for here” and take a seat in their cafe. If you’re into people watching, put this place on your list.

Max Brenner | 1500 Walnut St. 
If you’re all about chocolate, go here.

Center City District Restaurant Week | January 17-22 and 24-29, 2016
Participating restaurants will offer three-course dinners for only $35 per person. In addition, many will also be offering a three-course lunch for $20. Pro tip: Make reservations ASAP, spots fill up quickly.

Good Dog Bar | 224 S. 15th St.
Sometimes after a long day, you need to sit yourself down in a cozy booth and eat a good burger. Dog lovers, you’ll get your fill of dog decor at this place!

Oscar’s Tavern | 1524 Sansom St.
Two things: Bar food & Bill Murray. The retro paper placemats, the jukebox and the dimly lit atmosphere will place you in the best time warp ever.
