DC’s Summer Restaurant Week 2020 is Serving Up Something for Everyone
It’s that foodie favorite time of year – Summer Restaurant Week (August 17-30), presented by the Restaurant Association Metropolitan Washington (RAMW). This year’s promotion has been extended by an additional week offering a variety of options such as brunch, lunch, dinner, and a new to-go program with pricing ranging from $22 for a multi-course lunch or brunch to $35 or $55 for a three-course dinner. Several restaurants are also offering specially priced family-style to-go meals at price points to fit a variety of budgets and tastes for curbside pickup.
In an effort to support the struggling restaurant industry given the global pandemic, RAMW presenting sponsors Events DC and JBG SMITH are covering the cost of participating to ensure that area restaurants can participate without monetary burden.
“As this unprecedented worldwide health crisis is drastically affecting all of us across the District of Columbia, Events DC is proud to do what we can to support our local restaurants,” said Greg O’Dell, president and chief executive officer of Events DC. “We recognize the vital importance of this sector to our local economy and appreciate its resilience during these tough times.”

Events DC’s Community Grant Program provides financial support to qualified non-profit organizations that serve DC youth in the areas of sports, performing, and cultural arts. In Cycle 1 of the FY21 grant period, the Community Grant Program reflects and celebrates the on-going work and impact that previous year grant awardees have on DC youth.
Located in Ward 7, previous year grant awardee Step Afrika! continues to progress its enriched youth program of over 25 years. Step Afrika! is the first professional company dedicated to the tradition of stepping, and now ranks as one of the top ten African-American dance companies in the United States.
Step Afrika! blends percussive dance styles practiced by historically African American fraternities and sororities; traditional West and Southern African dances; and an array of contemporary dance and art forms into a cohesive, compelling artistic experience. Performances are much more than dance shows; they integrate songs, storytelling, humor, and audience participation. The blend of technique, agility, and pure energy makes each performance unique and leaves the audience with their hearts pounding.
Step Afrika! promotes stepping as an educational tool for young people, focusing on teamwork, academic achievement, and cross-cultural understanding. The Company reaches tens of thousands of Americans each year through a 50-city tour of colleges and theatres and performs globally as Washington, DC’s one and only Cultural Ambassador.
