Alexandria Restaurant Week extending one week at select eateries due to winter storm

Alexandria Restaurant Week will run an additional week, after last weekend’s winter storm put many families’ plans to dine out on pause.

The winter restaurant week, originally set to end this Sunday, Feb. 1, will now run through Sunday, Feb. 8. A Visit Alexandria spokesperson confirmed to ALXnow that the weather prompted the organization to extend restaurant week, giving diners more chances to safely visit participating restaurants.

Close to 80 restaurants will continue to participate and offer their restaurant week menus, according to Visit Alexandria. Restaurants are serving $35, $45 or $55 per-person dinner menus, and fast-casual restaurants have their own offers.

Eateries represent a wide range of cuisines and come from Old Town, Old Town North, Del Ray, Carlyle and Eisenhower, Arlandria-Chirilagua, the West End and south of city limits.

Diners should continue to check the Alexandria Restaurant Week website for updates on which restaurants will join the extended dates.
