It’s time again for restaurant week, where D.C. restaurants serve three-course fixed-price meals for reduced prices. The event runs January 11th through the 17th and this time, lunch is $20.10 and dinner is $35.10. It’s a great opportunity to try that expensive restaurant you’ve always wanted to try, but beware, it gets very crowded and restaurants look to do as fast of a turnover as possible so don’t expect to have a long, lingering dinner date. Many restaurants are reservation-only for restaurant week, so make sure to get your spot and don’t expect to get a spot at popular dinner times. The earlier or later, the better.
