DC’s winter restaurant week extended through first week of February

If you’re dug out of the snow, hundreds of D.C.-area restaurants are inviting you to explore their menus with discounted prices through Feb 8.

The D.C.-area winter restaurant week has been extended once again due to disruptions from the recent cold weather. The original restaurant week ended Jan. 25, with 385 restaurants participating. But more than 200 eateries across the area decided to keep the promotion running a little longer.

Restaurants extending will continue to feature three-course selections for brunch and lunch for $25 or $35 per person, and dinner menus for $40, $55 or $65, with optional beverage pairings throughout D.C., Maryland and Virginia.

Below are some of the restaurants participating. See the full list here.

Shawn Townsend, president and CEO of the Restaurant Association of Metropolitan Washington, said 2025 was a tough year for restaurants navigating inflation, tariffs, increased police presence on the streets and widespread government firings. He said if you can get out and support local restaurants, they are very appreciative.

“This winter storm disrupted more than just plans — it disrupted revenue for an industry that is already navigating a challenging environment,” Townsend said. “Extending Winter Restaurant Week through Feb. 8 for restaurants that want to continue gives operators the chance to recapture business and gives diners another opportunity to support local restaurants.”

US-Belgium at World Cup is most-watched soccer telecast in US history at 30M viewers, Fox says

The U.S. game against Belgium in the round of 16 at the World Cup set another record as the most-watched soccer telecast in U.S. history, Fox said after preliminary ratings came out Tuesday. Fox said 30 million people watched the game, a 4-1 victory for Belgium on Monday in Seattle to move into the quarterfinals and eliminate the last of the tournament’s three co-hosts. Fox said audience peaked at more than 36.8 million people between 9:15 and 9:30 p.m. Eastern Time. That topped the previous mark, the U.S.-Bosnia-Herzegovina game last week that Fox said was watched by 26.4 million. Fox on Tuesday also reported the 11.1 million viewers who tuned in to the Portugal-Croatia match in the round of 32 were the most in English language history in the United States for any World Cup game without the U.S. team, excluding the final. Fox said viewership peaked at more than 16 million for a wild finish.
