Savor the Season

Experience the best of outdoor dining with a progressive dinner itinerary

By Hannah Beard | Marketing & Merchant Engagement Manager

Summer and dining outdoors go hand-inhand, especially in Historically Edgy Downtown York, where historic architecture, vibrant streetscapes, and local flavor come together in walkable districts just waiting to be explored.

Come along with us as we map out a progressive patio dinner—an immersive outdoor dining experience where every course is served in a different district, each just a few blocks stroll apart. Then be inspired to chart out one of your very own!

One: Start with a Sip at Tutoni’s TT Bar - Market District | 108 N. George St.

Tutoni’s TT Bar is the perfect place to kick off your evening. Order their signature cocktail—the Purple Rain—a blend of Bols Genever, butterfly pea flower mint syrup, lime, and lavender, served in a glass that catches the sunset of Summer.

Two: Appetizer at Roosevelt Tavern - WeCo | 50 N. Penn St.

Cross the Creek into the WeCo District, where you’ll find the Roosevelt Tavern, one of the few spots in Downtown York with a true outdoor patio. Their standout appetizer? Devils on Horseback: bacon-wrapped Medjool dates, stuffed with blue cheese and finished with a balsamic reduction. Sweet, salty, savory—this starter is a patio favorite.

Three: Entrée at Levant Mediterranean Cuisine - Royal Square District | 101 S. Duke St.

Stroll to the arts scene of the Royal Square District to Levant Mediterranean Cuisine, where sidewalk seating offers views of passersby and the historic, recently renovated Laurel-Rex Fire Company. Go bold with the Musakhan oven-broiled chicken, red onion, and sumac layered over warm bread, garnished with fried almonds and parsley, served with a side of Mediterranean yogurt. Pair it with their house-made Royal Mint Lemonade, a cool, crisp counterpoint to the hearty main.

Four: Dessert at Gift Horse Brewing Company x Happy Camper Eats & Treats - Market District | 117 N. George St.

Wrap up your culinary jaunt back into the Market District with a sweet finale. Outside Gift Horse Brewing Company, Happy Camper is serving up ice cream cookie sandwiches that are as photogenic and nostalgic as they are delicious. Creamy, cold, and packed with flavor, these handheld treats are the perfect way to end your evening.

This progressive patio dinner is a way to experience all three districts of Downtown York, while savoring what makes each one so special: Small businesses owned by locals, good food, fresh air, and community. Whether you're sipping alongside street art, sharing bites with friends, or strolling between districts while visiting our local retailers, you're supporting Downtown York—one outdoor table at a time.
