It\u2019s been five years since, well, since a lot of things happened.<\/p>\n

\u201cManayunk restaurants have come together so we could market to all of our guests as a collective, and what better way to showcase all of the different restaurants here in Manayunk than restaurant week,\u201d said Voracious Hospitality Group Director of Operations Brendan McGrew. \u201cThis way, each restaurant can do what they do best at its price point, without having to necessarily compete with others. Since we are all offering great deals, guests can pick and choose what they like best. Rather than each of us fighting for a bigger piece of the pie, we are all working together to make the pie bigger. We have found that there is definite strength in numbers; working together enhances the entire Manayunk community.\u201d<\/p>\n
