Foodie Alert: Silver Spring Restaurant Week Under Way

Silver Spring Restaurant Week began Tuesday, Sept. 8, and runs through Sunday, Sept. 13, with special lunch and dinner fixed-price menus throughout the week to encourage residents from around the county to dine out.

Montgomery County Council member Tom Hucker initiated the idea to have Silver Spring restaurants unite for the special week.

“Downtown Silver Spring continues to grow as one of this area’s best places for dining and entertainment, but there are still many people who have yet to discover the variety and quality of our restaurants,” Hucker told Montgomery Community Media. “Diners who come here, and restaurant critics, heap praise on our dining choices, and now, at these great prices, people will have even more incentive to either come to downtown Silver Spring for the first time or for regular Silver Spring diners to try restaurants at which they have not yet dined.”

During Silver Spring Restaurant Week, participating restaurants will offer two-course lunches for $12 and three-course lunches for $17. Two-course dinners will be available for $17 and three-course dinners will be offered for $27.

Since the announcement the number of participating restaurants has grown to 35 and includes several in Takoma Park.
