If driving into the District isn't a dealbreaker and one week just isn't enough, D.C. kicked off their restaurant week Sunday, Aug. 14.
Participating restaurants will offer multi-course brunch and lunch menus for $25 per person, and multi-course dinner menus for $40 or $55 per person for on-premises dining. Many restaurants will also offer cocktail pairings and to-go dinner meals, available at two price points: $70 or $100 for two people and $140 or $200 for four people.
This year's slate of restaurants include some returning heavy-hitters in the D.C. food scene, like Michelin star winners Cranes and Bresca, as well as some fresh faces like the just-opened Il Piatto Italian restaurant and Annabelle, which features a menu crafted by a former White House chef who served three presidents.
