Food.Fun.Stuff: Restaurant Week All Around

It's Electric! (*For some reason when we were thinking of this post, the "Electric Slide" song began running through our minds...) Well it seems the Restaurant Week bug is electric and spreading throughout every other neighborhood...needless to say, we're happy about it.

September 18-26, 2009 marks the Turkish Restaurant Week in DC. How awesome. Turkish food does not get the spotlight often in the DMV so we're glad they're expanding our palates with the nice price of $25 for a 4-course Turkish meal. To back it up, there will be a Turkish food festival on Sunday, October 4, 2009 (*More info here). Participating restaurants include Cafe 8, Cafe Divan and Rosemary's Thyme Bistro.

And the electricity spreads to Bethesda Row for its restaurant week starting September 21 until 27, 2009. We love visiting Bethesda Row, its one of those new developments that just makes you feel good because everything is so new. Participating restaurants include Assagi (*a cute Italian bistro), Lebanese Taverna (*good hummus) and Redwood Restaurant and Bar (*our verdict is still under review on this one after a bad brunch we attended here...).

And the current keeps traveling as Clyde's has its yearly tradition: 1-1/4 lb. steamed Maine Lobsters for $17.95. From September 11 until October 31, 2009, lobster lovers can feast on the succulent seafood (*Well we think it's succulent:-) at a Washington classic.

Plenty of deals to wine and dine during these hard economic times. Grab a date and expand your palates horizons.
