Adsum, Matt Levin and Kar Vivekananthan’s refined neighborhood bistro that opened in July, is the latest to crash the Center City District’s Restaurant Week party. Like Bistrot La Minette and Meme, which Grub Street mentioned yesterday were both offering special prix fixe menus despite being located outside the Center City District’s borders, Adsum is out of bounds for Restaurant Week. Nonetheless Levin and Vivekananthan have introduced their own three-course menu that they will serve throughout Restaurant Week for $35. An optional wine pairing is also being offered for an additional $12. Click through to see the menu.
