As if shopping in Georgetown isn’t already one of your favorite pasttimes, Morton’s Steakhouse and Georgetown BID are giving you one more reason to shop till’ you drop.  This week select retailers will be distributing invitations to Morton’s Shopper Appreciation Event on April 10th.

So, it’s pretty simple.  This is how it works:  you shop at one of the stores, and in return get an invitation to the event.  On Saturday afternoon betwen 2-5pm you can stroll on over to Morton’s patio where you will enjoy FREE miniature prime cheeseburgers and an extra-special cocktail menu in honor of spring and all the shopping goodness that comes along with it.

Some of the stores participating include Betsey Johnson, CUSP, and Urban Chic just to name a few.  For a complete list, you can go to www.mortons.com/georgetown and click on “Special Events.”

Morton’s Final Smoke Out

To mourn or celebrate the Virginia statewide smoking restrictions really isn’t my purview, being a proud (and let’s face it, clueless) DC resident, but if you are in that demographic and also just happen to love steaks and cigars, this is for you.

Three Morton’s locations in Virginia, the fair state that tobacco made, will be hosting “Smoke Out” parties this evening – Monday, November 30. Crystal City, Reston Town Center, and Tysons Corner will all feature 7pm dinners sponsored by Virginia Tobacco, Paul Garmirian and Davidoff Cigars. Their cocktail and dinner cigars will be paired with specially designed dishes and Virginia wines.

Contact the individual restaurants for details. Sounds very “Mad Men” decadent. Celebrate or mourn, Virginia, whichever you prefer.
