We’re updating our popular Recession Specials feature. Removed are the closed restaurants (we miss you Ansill), added are the latest wallet saving deals (Gnocchi has a 3-course dinner for two for$25). For the next week we’ll be rolling out each day’s specials. If you’ve got some suggestions of your own, please add them to the comments. In a week we’ll compile the additions and roll them all into Recession Specials 2.0.

Note, the requirements are these deals include a food component, this is not a drinking guide (not that there’s anything wrong with that, we’re just trying to keep it focused).

On Tuesdays, Paul, the neighborhood BYOB between 11th and 12th on Pine is offering a neighborhood appreciation day with their 3-course tasting menu being just $20.

A three course meal features soup, salad or crepe to start plus a main course that last week offered a smoked pork chop, tagliatelle, waluu or chicken breast and of course dessert to finish.

Insti-Tuesdays kick off at the Institute. After half-priced happy hour ends at 7pm, it is 30% off the entire check the rest of the night.

And as we mentioned yesterday, Bosteels Brewery and delicious Kwak, Tripel Karmaliet and Deus beer will be pouring at the Pub on Passyunk East.

Is it just us or is there really very little happening on Tuesdays around these parts? It’s the new Monday. But with two exhausting nights of the Phillies, maybe it’s time chill out and catch up with your DVR. Pizzeria Stella is now doing takeout if you’re in down that way or  have the Rittenhouse Square SliCE deliver. The truffle pizza hit the spot last time we ordered.

Chef Chip Roman’s tasting dinners continue each Tuesday at Blackfish Conshohocken. Tonight it’s venison four ways plus dessert for $45. Reservations are available.

See the details for tonight and the rest of the month after the jump.
