What We’re Offering

Chai everybody! (Just kidding!) I’m Evan, and I’ll be working with Micah and our bloggers to bring you all the information we can about great food at great prices. Hopefully you’ve read Micah’s first post and have an idea what we’re about here at Eat the District. I’m here to tell you a little bit more about the type of posts you can expect to find.

First off, every morning we’re going to bring you The Morning Roundup, a quick survey of all the internet deals offered on websites like Groupon, LivingSocial, and Scoutmob. If you’re anything like us – and if you’re reading this blog, odds are you are – your Gmail inbox is flooded each morning with too many offers to fully digest (I just can’t stop). So leave it to us: we’ll give you a brief description and let you know whether each deal is a Must-Buy, whether we’re Fifty-Fifty on it, or whether this is an offer to Avoid.

In our Bargain Bites posts, we’re going to deliver you reviews of restaurants in DC and its surrounding suburbs. These posts are the meat and potatoes (ugh I’m so sorry) of Eat the District: local restaurants at affordable prices. Hopefully, most of the time it’ll be places we love, and the reviews will be full of high praise and mouthwatering photos. We know there will also be a clunker or two, and we’ll be sure to report that as well so that you don’t go out and waste your money. In the end, we hope that when you’re looking for a place to grab some delicious food without spending a ton of cash, you’ll head straight to Eat the District before you head out the door.

Every once in awhile everyone feels the need to indulge. You know the times: parents are in town and are paying for dinner, or there’s a certain someone you want to impress, or it’s your boyfriend’s birthday. For those times, we want you to be reading our A Cut Above posts. It’s our excuse to spend a bit more money than normal and share with you our thoughts on some of DC’s nicer restaurants.

And of course, we’ll be bringing you some odds and ends here and there.  Check it Out will cover news items, one-time deals, and lots of other content that doesn’t fit neatly into our regular restaurant reviews.  Micah’s In Praise Of… column will feature some of his current food fixations. I’ll be writing about Dating a Vegetarian (well, sort of. She does eat chicken and sometimes turkey. But only the white meat. And never chopped. Don’t worry, I’ll explain in the first post.) and offering up some good restaurant options for those carnivore-herbivore pairings out there. And our mysterious man on the street will be unveiling both his identity and his column shortly. Expect to find these and other musings interspersed with our regular posts.

We hope we like what you see here, and that our content in the weeks and months ahead will inspire you to eat good. Eat cheap Eat the District!
