Last Day of Arlington Restaurant Week

Today is the final day of Arlington Restaurant Week. We had a total of 42 participating restaurants and multiple media placements throughout the week. Member restaurants participated for free, thanks to sponsorship support. Diners enjoyed some of the best food the area has to offer at special prices and it was a great opportunity for participants to take the week to explore the diverse restaurant scene in Arlington and find a new go-to place for dining out. Four lucky diners who participated in our #ARLRestaurantWeek social media contest received $100 gift cards to a restaurant of their choice. Share your photos with #ARLRestaurantWeek for a chance to be our fifth and final winner! VIEW 2020 LIST OF PRESS & MEDIA COVERAGE

What Can I Do? Sarah White, Chief Operating Officer, Cowboy Cafe, Lost Dog Cafe - South Arlington, McLean, Dunn Loring “What can I do?” It seems like I get asked this several times a day in the world of restaurants. “I want to support my local restaurant, but don’t know how I can help.” I get it. We all want to support our local restaurants, but some of us just aren’t ready to dine in, or cannot afford to eat out all the time. That is why I would like to take a minute to tell you how you can be supportive no matter your situation. READ MORE
