Where To Go (And Avoid) For DC Restaurant Week, Summer 2024
Restaurant Week (RW) is here again. It’s a great opportunity to try new places, especially local favorites. RW is also a chance to get some deals—$25 for a 3-course brunch or lunch, and $40 for a 3-course dinner are almost always worth the price. The $35 brunch/lunch and $55/$65 dinners are less often actual deals. Many restaurants are the same as they were in January’s RW—you can read those recommendations here.
