by Every Friday I compile a list of the best culinary or unique things to do in DC that weekend. As with the past weekends, this weekend is filled with discounted 3-course meals. Yep, restaurant weeks are in full swing. This week we have Baltimore’s Restaurant Week and Bethesda-Chevy Chases Restaurant Week. Also this weekend will be your last chance to see the Panda Cub Tai Shan before he heads back to China. The Farewell Celebration is on Saturday, more details below. In honor of Tai Shan I found a picture of him from his 3rd birthday. Trust me, it is him.
So many things going on….

At select restaurants, enjoy a variety of three-course dinners, in just about any cuisine that strikes your fancy, for only $35.10 or try three-course lunches at select restaurants for just $20.10.
