“Be Downtown” to Get Free Coffee and Other Specials

Coffee shops and restaurants will offer specials to encourage people to “Be Downtown” throughout February and March.

At an event at the Connecticut Avenue Roasting Plant, Mayor Muriel Bowser announced a new plan to encourage residents, workers, and visitors to explore Downtown DC.

“As more people come Downtown, we want people to explore all the fantastic businesses that we have here,” she said.  “Whether you’re returning to an old favorite or trying something new, I encourage everyone to enjoy Downtown and to take advantage of these specials.”

As part of the “Be Downtown” promotion, over 40 restaurants across Downtown DC will offer a variety of morning, lunch, and happy hour specials. A full list of participating restaurants is available here.

For an immediate downtown pick-me-up, 10 local coffee shops will offer a free cup of coffee each Monday starting February 12 and ending March 4! Check out Urban Roast during the 10 am to 11 am hour or any of these from 8 to 9 am:
