It’s a few weeks down the road, but DC Restaurant Week aficionados know that now is the time to start planning.

Over 200 DC-area restaurants will participate in Washington’s Restaurant Week – this year taking place Feb. 4-10. With three-course meals costing $20.13 at lunch and $35.13 for dinner, restaurant week gives Washington diners a chance to sample some of the area’s finest restaurants for a fraction of the cost.
