The fourth annual DMV Black Restaurant Week is in full force, with just a few days left for residents across the metro area to enjoy offerings from dozens of Black-owned restaurants.
The week spans Washington, D.C., Maryland and Virginia each November. This year’s theme is “reshaping our community through ownership and luxury” – a message that highlights Black-owned businesses that have worked to help underserved communities and those that co-found luxury brands as part of their business. Black Restaurant Week started on Nov. 6 and will run through Sunday, Nov. 13.
Some restaurants across Montgomery County offer discounts and deals to those participating in the week’s celebration of Black entrepreneurs. To see a full list of restaurants across the DMV that are participating in Black Restaurant Week, participants can view the initiative’s webpage.
