For the Short Stacks: Kids Restaurant Week

PENNY PINCHING FOODIES have always flocked to the District's top restaurants for restaurant week. The week long opportunity for gastronomic extravagance allows the inner bargain hunter in each of us to enjoy a reasonably priced prix-fix meal at traditionally not-so-reasonably priced eateries. Now, Cookie and Gourmet Magazine's Kids Restaurant Week provides the chance for foodies in training to join in on the feasting fun.

From the 13th to the 21st, participating restaurants will provide a kid-friendly, gourmet set menu from 5-7 p.m. Adults pay $29 for the three course menu, while kids 11 and under pay their age. Proceeds go towards Miriam's Kitchen as well as the reconstruction of Eastern Market.

Participating restaurant's include Art & Soul, Cafe du Parc, Mie N Yu, Zola as well as dozens of other food-lover's hot spots. It is the perfect way to expose little Johnny to the world of fine dining without dipping deep into the college savings account.

On Saturday at Eastern Market from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., top D.C. chefs will be holding tastings, demonstrations and kid-friendly activities.
