Not that long ago, DC was a foddie wasteland, with limited dining options and only a handful of innovative chefs.
Today, DC is one of the foodie-friendliest cities in America, known for a wide variety of hip hangouts, celebrity chef outposts and exceptional restaurants. Best of all, during Restaurant Week – which begins August 17th and runs through the 23rd, you can experience many of the top establishments at a discount. Enjoy a 3-course lunch for just $22 and a 3-course dinner for only $35. That’s a pretty good deal. Presented by Restaurant Association Metropolitan Washington, this year’s summer restaurant week has 250 participating restaurants spread out all over the District, Maryland and Virginia.
