How it Will Work

Dinner is scheduled for 6 p.m.  Students can meet in the DeNaples Center first floor at 5:45 p.m. and walk downtown together or proceed directly to your restaurant of choice (or go earlier and enjoy First Friday events which run from 5-9 p.m.)

An RA or University staff member will accompany each group and will pay for your dinner.  They will explain your options for ordering to keep within the $15 maximum for each person. Dinner should last approximately 1 hour.

Students are then encouraged to participate in First Friday Scranton, which takes place at venues throughout the downtown from 5 – 9 p.m.  A special First Friday map with the evening’s free art and musical offerings will be provided to you at dinner. 

Downtown eateries will be offering Free Dessert Treats, sponsored by the Office of Community Relations, from 8:00 - 9:00 p.m.  You will receive a special coupon at dinner.

 

We are very excited for this great downtown program!
