d.c.'s restaurant week this year is july 26-august 1. basic premise: restaurants where you normally couldn't afford a leaf of lettuce offer reduced-priced menus for lunch and dinner.

Join over 100 of Washington, DC's finest restaurants for awe-inspiring, 3-course prix fixe meals prepared especially for this gourmet event. Lunch is a delicious $20.04 and dinner is $30.04.

anybody interested in having lunch or dinner avec moi during this time? i don't really know that much about the area's restaurants, so i don't have anything particular in mind except teatro goldoni, a great italian place. i've also heard good things about vidalia.
