45. 1789
On the rare occasion where I actually get myself together to go running, actually make it far enough away from my house to be in Georgetown and actually don’t pass out from heat stroke mid-run, I find myself jogging past 1789. And without fail, there’s always an uncomfortable-looking dude with his parents and grandparents making their way to a 5pm seating at 1789. And every time I...

4. CityZen
So, I’ll be the first to admit that I cheated just a little bit on this one. But hey, when you get an opportunity to try a restaurant and not fork over the requisite million dollars (or whatever) I think it’s a pretty good deal. So when I got the call/invite to attend CityZen’s 5th anniversary party I jumped at it. And not only because I love the wood anniversary. (Hilariously,...

50. Cork
When I got back from dinner at Cork, a friend asked me if it was a good first date kind of place. My first thought was, “obvs. There’s lots of booze and sharing food is kind of cute.” After further though, also after hanging up with this friend so I hope they’re reading my actual opinion now, I decided it was probably a pretty bad choice. Yes, it’s cute to share food,...

67. Mannequin Pis
OK everyone, I’ll give you a minute to giggle immaturely about the name before we start. Go ahead, I’ll wait. Done? Everyone? Even you in the back, you look like you’ve got a pee joke just waiting to be said. Alright then, let’s proceed.
What’s that they say about buying a house? Location, location, location? Well, not the case for this bit of real estate. They are...

65. Cashion's Eat Place
Just like Hank’s Oyster Bar, Cashion’s is one of my go-to Washington restaurants that I send friends to, and can eat at over and over again and always feel satisfied. The menu changes daily, so the food is always seasonal, fresh and exactly what you’re looking for. Last night was the beginning of the fall weekends here and the menu reflected the temperature change—soups and...

76. Bastille
Oh, Bastille. Who was your real estate agent? Your location is so ridiculous—it is just about the same as a Tiffany’s being in the basement of a Chinese dry cleaner. Not only is Bastille in the very northern tip of Old Town, its right next to the train tracks and the coal power plant. If that wasn’t bad enough, the restaurant also shares a patio with a furniture store, making it...

14. 2941
Before we begin today’s class, a public service announcement. If you are only able to get to Falls Church once before Sept. 30th, you should take that opportunity to eat lunch at 2941 and take advantage of their extended restaurant week menu. To call it a deal is an understatement, and everything on the RW menu could easily be on the regular menu. With a regular menu running $70 for three...

Restaurant Week lives on, Not just in our Hearts
Since the world loves a deal (that’s the saying, right?) I have here all the Washingtonian Best restaurants that have extended their restaurant week deals. After having a great deal and a great meal at 2941 this week, I want to share the wealth. Go forth and save:
2941 - lunch only through Sept. 30th
Art & Soul - through Sept. 6th
Bistro Bis - through Sept. 5th
Blacksalt - lunch...

12. Kinkead's
I fancy myself pretty awesome at the Internet. I’m an excellent Googler, and I copy/paste like a madwoman. However, I got a little too excited about Restaurant Week reservations this year and moved a little too quick, and my Interneting suffered. In English, I made a boo-boo and booked a wonderful RW meal for my parents and myself at Kinkeads. However, I didn’t quite read the fine...
