DC Black Restaurant Week features spots to add to your list

Looking for a new favorite restaurant? One national organization is spotlighting DC-area Black-owned eateries for two weeks straight as July fizzles out.

WASHINGTON — A national group that goes by the name Black Restaurant Week is serving local foodies a list of Black-owned restaurants to support in the coming weeks. The 14-day campaign, starting on July 18, is meant to serve the local culinary industry and spotlight diverse creators with a talent for whipping up deliciousness. 

"Discover Black-owned restaurants and culinary businesses in your community," the organization shares, which spotlights restaurants from New York to the Bay Area.

Learn more about the organization and a few local events in the days to come by clicking here, and find their list of highlighted restaurants, and their descriptions below - plus their Instagrams, for those of us that need a visual before deciding on the perfect order!

The Park at 14th

"The Park at 14th is a vibrant Downtown DC “restobar” serving a palate-satisfying medley of made-from-scratch feel-good food and refreshing cocktails. Since launching in 2007, The Park, as it is known locally, has developed a loyal following, and become a mainstay for after-work drinks, a festive dinner or brunch, gameday viewing or a night out with friends,"

Plus, the restaurant told WUSA9 that, during Black Restaurant week, they'll be offering 50% off of select entrees!
