The Snow Took Too Much From Us, We Must Eat Out To Be Whole Again

Restaurants are all annoyed because no one ate out during the Snowpocalypse. But they don’t want you to think it’s just about the money. Oh, please! You see, while you were home throwing snowballs at armed civilians (cops?), making vats of chili and working hard from your couch, you were not at restaurants, the only place where human interaction can occur. So in solidarity, a bunch of DC restaurants are participating in “Restaurants Unleashed Week” and offering discounts to help get you back out there and reconnected with the world.

Let us take stock in the words of Lynne Breaux, President of Restaurant Association of Metropolitan Washington, the group that is sponsoring the Week: “It’s not just dining; this is also about social contact, conviviality, decompression and so much more that we tend not to think about until it is taken away. Think of our ‘Unleashed’ week as an intense, really big, group therapy session.” Thank god for restaurants, what would we do without them?

• Bistro Bistro DC: Free Carafe of Sangria with the purchase of 2 entrees
