DON'T FORGET ABOUT RESTAURANT WEEK!

The delicious filet entre at Blue Duck.. it
definitely does the trick!

Unless you're poor like me and have next to nothing in your checking account. Take advantage of checking out the Restaurant Week menu at some of DC's finest eateries, with lunches at 20.11 for three courses and dinners at 35.11. While I continuously promote the Penn Quarter corridor when it comes to restaurants, I also suggest going off of the beaten path and trying something new that you've seen but haven't gotten the opportunity to try yet (I'm sure you've had one of those "OMG we have to try that place!" moments in the past month or so). Either way, I always recommend trying one of those DC staple restaurants that the majority of us wouldn't typically be able to afford if it wasn't for the prix fixe menu; Both Blue Duck Tavern and The Caucus Room are constantly frequented by DC celebrities (AKA Obama) with price points that could leave you hungry. While Blue Duck is minimalist in terms of its decor, The Caucus Room will have you feeling like you're in an old senator's library, with loads of pictures outlining the hallways featuring some of DC's finest. And you can't forget about Georgia Brown's; this gourmet, soul-food inspired spot combines DC's African-American influence with its knack for being one of the best restaurant cities in the country (go for the brunch!). Either way, take advantage about Restaurant Week.
