Zesty’s, located in Manayunk, opened in the fall of 1993. In less than a year, with the help of Roxborough Manayunk Bank, Zesty’s expanded next door to double its size. Our bistro is designed for quiet dining and features a bright, open kitchen. Named a National Historic District in 1983, Manayunk is centrally located along the Schuykill River, close to Center City, the Main Line and the entire Delaware Valley. With over 65 chic boutiques and galleries and approximately 30 restaurants, Manayunk is a world unto itself. It is these demographics, along with unique shopping and dining experiences that have helped Manayunk consistently draw crowds of great numbers. Manayunk received its name from the Lenape Indian word “manaiung”, meaning, where we go to drink.” The availability of water with the completion of the Manayunk Canal drew people to the area. It provided power for the construction of textile and paper mills and provided the transportation link to the port of Philadelphia and inland to the farmlands of Pennsylvania.
