Dining Under the Stars
State Street · Media, PA
State Street closes to traffic and Media's restaurants spill into the road with open-air tables — a downtown block party of al-fresco dining every Wednesday evening all summer.
You'll walk down the middle of a car-free State Street lined with tables spilling out from dozens of restaurants, with the smell of international cuisines mixing in the evening air and live music drifting between blocks. The atmosphere is bustling and communal — families, couples, and groups of friends wander between dining setups, pop into independent shops, and settle in for a leisurely meal outdoors. It feels like a small-town street fair that happens every single week, with the easygoing rhythm of a neighborhood block party rather than a one-time spectacle.
