Barracks Row April 29 – Gotta Be There

When I first moved to Washington, DC, home was Capitol Hill. Just two blocks from Barracks Row, I became a regular to all the businesses and restaurants there, especially Ellington's on Eighth, Banana Café and Marty's. And there was no other place to grab a bottle of spirits than Chat's Liquor.

But there are so many restaurants I didn't get the chance to check out before I moved. Luckily, Barracks Row Main Street is having an event 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. Saturday, April 29, when you can sample foods from any of participating restaurants for just $40. The Barracks Row Dine Around has restaurants serve a signature appetizer, small entrée, dessert & drink. Participating locations are Banana Café, Belga Café, Chat's, Chicken Tortilla, Ellington's on Eighth, Finn MacCool's, Las Placitas, Levi's, Marty's, Old Siam, Starbucks, Starfish Café, Szechuan House, Trattoria Alberto, Ugly Mug, and World Café – all located on Barracks Row.

You do not want to miss this event, especially if you've never taken the time to hang out on Barracks Row.
