WASHINGTON — As Mayor Muriel Bowser continues work to revitalize downtown D.C., she has announced that multiple local coffee shops and restaurants are offering specials throughout February and March to encourage people to come back to the city.
As part of the "Be Downtown" campaign, over 40 restaurants in the downtown areas, with the support of the Restaurant Association of Metropolitan Washington (RAMW), will offer a variety of morning, lunch and happy hour specials. The specials will run throughout March 31, allowing people to explore the dining scene.
“As more people come downtown, we want people to explore all the fantastic businesses that we have here," Bowser said. "We’re showing people that new, innovative businesses continue to open their doors in Downtown DC. Whether you’re returning to an old favorite or trying something new, I encourage everyone to enjoy Downtown and to take advantage of these specials.”
In addition, 10 local coffee shops will offer a free cup of coffee to visitors each Monday starting Feb. 12 and ending March 4. Unless noted below, the special is offered between 8 a.m. to 9 a.m. Participating coffee shops include:
