And so it begins. Not even noon and Young & Hungry already receives its first notification of hurricane-themed specials at a D.C. watering hole. I'll be updating these as they arrive in ye olde inbox throughout the day. So check back often. But give it up for Bar Dupont, the first venue to alert us [...]
Casa Nonna in Dupont Circle is rolling out its new Italian-style street-side gelato cart on Thursday. Folks dropping by between 1 p.m. and 2 p.m. receive free scoops. Full details below:
Urbana in Dupont Circle is having a birthday party. First, it needs friends. As part of its fifth anniversary celebration, beginning Tuesday night and lasting into next week, the restaurant and wine bar is offering a slew of promotional deals, including a free Margherita pizza with any purchase at the bar, provided you can first [...]
By now, you've undoubtedly heard about today's $1 lunch promotion offered by LivingSocial.com, honored at more than 100 eateries around town. The coupons entitle holders to upwards of $25 worth of food for just a buck, depending on the location. As of 11:30 a.m., more than 24,000 vouchers had been sold, according to the organizers. [...]
As far as promotions go, this one is pretty simple: Wear your smug "I Voted" sticker (one that you got at a polling station, not one that you tore off your co-worker's chest in anger) and get a free taco today at California Tortilla. It's a promotion with a civic mind. Well, to a degree. [...]
Few things drive traffic like controversy and free food, and we had plenty of both last week on Y&H.

(Seeds, I guess, could one day turn into weekly groceries, but only if [...]
UPDATED: 1:45 p.m. 10/14/2010 This sounds like a joke, right, given the closest grocery store to Union Station is probably the Yes! Organic Market on Pennsylvania Avenue SE? The offer, however, appears legit. I have the corporate PR e-mail right here. It seems Target is celebrating its newly redesigned stores, which now feature fresh produce [...]
When the Cattlemen's Beef Board, a manly organization that I imagine exudes the unmistakable aroma of musk and cooked meats, tells you that September 18 is National Cheeseburger Day, you'd best not argue. Except for this one little problem: Z Burger, the local chain-let, is celebrating National Cheeseburger Day today. From 11 a.m. to 2 [...]
All you have to do is show up at any of the three BGR: The Burger Joint locations and show off some body part that's stamped with the BGR logo. (See the logo after the jump for those who want to draw their own.) The shop will even assist you in the freebie. They have [...]
We get all kinds of unwanted crap in the mail. Yesterday, Amanda Hess got this package from Red Bull, advertising its latest product line — the Red Bull Energy Shot, these two-ounce poppers designed to give you a sugar-and-caffeine rush when, say, your boss calls for yet another hour-long, narcolepsy-inducing meeting. All of which is [...]
