August 24th, 2009 Categories: Around Arlington County, Around the City of Alexandria, Blue Plate Specials, Life in the District, Neighborhoods, The Native Tourist, The Road Less Taken
This week (August 24th-30th, 2009) celebrate the 15th annual restaurant week in DC. Over 130 restaurants are participating. For a complete list click here.
For the entire week– you can frequent your favorite restaurant– or one you’ve never tried and eat for a fixed price of:
$20.09 for lunch and $35.09 for dinner, get a 3 course fixed price meal. Beverages, tax & tips not included- so don’t forget to tip your waiter!
There are many of DC’s fancy restaurants on the list– you know– the ones you only visit on an expense account or on special occasions. Sam & Harry’s, Smith & Wollensky and i ricchi to name a few.
Some restaurants may restrict these prices to certain items on their menu or to lunch or dinner. Check the web site for the list of restaurants & their offerings– participating restaurants are not all in DC! This is a very popular event– so MAKE RESERVATIONS!
So get out and support the local ecomony and enojy the last days of summer.

Happy 4th of July!
July 3rd, 2008 Categories: Life in the District, The Road Less Taken
There’s always something fun about this holiday. If you are planning to go down to the Mall to see the fireworks– they don’t start until 9:15pm. But there is tons of things to do while you’re waiting. Click here to find some great viewing spots. And don’t forget– there is no parking allowed this year on the shoulder of the George Washington Parkway!
If you’re like me and don’t like the crowds– look through this list for a local fireworks display in your neighborhood. From Arlington to Leesburg– just about every local area will have an event. You folks in Vienna will have to be happy with a laser display after last year’s accident.
