This week (August 24th-30th, 2009) celebrate the 15^th 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.
