As your unofficial Restaurant Week Lady — here’s what Nycci needs you to know before
you go: 


Damn Those Resolutions … DC Winter Restaurant Week is BACK – an incredible roster of area restaurants are participating in Winter Restaurant Week, which runs through Sunday, January 21st.
* Specially priced menus offered throughout DC, Maryland, and Northern Virginia. This is an excellent time to visit some of those restaurants that you feel may be out of your price range or you haven’t had a chance to check out yet.
 * Participating restaurants are offering multi-course brunch and lunch menus for $25 or $35 per person and multi-course dinner menus for $40, $55, or $65 per person for on-premise dining.
* Many restaurants also offer cocktail, wine, and non-alcoholic pairings.
 * So many new restaurants are in the mix this year, including Casa Teresa, The Bazaar by José Andrés, Corso Italian, Flora in the Pendry, Mita, and Any Day Now & Xiquet DL.
* AND a bevy of your favorite restaurants are offering delicious menus as well, like Fiola Mare, Tony & Joe's Seafood Place, Iron Gate, Maketto, Stable, Perry's Restaurant, Josephine, Wren, and The Salt Line in Bethesda.
 

Now let’s talk the do’s & don’ts of Restaurant Week:
* DO your homework and look at menu offerings and prices online. Some places offer their whole menu and some offer special RW menus — Know before you go.
* DO leave generous gratuity — people are working just as hard.
* DON’T show up without a reservation.
* DON’T be unkind — staffing shortages are still real.
* DO know that many restaurants extend their price offerings throughout January. Check your favorite restaurant websites for details.
