I’ve never been one to believe or pay attention to the predictions of Punxsutawney Phil, but since it was determined that spring would come early this year – I’m completely onboard. Despite our area’s conflicting weather temperatures, the other true indicator that spring is ahead is the highly anticipated annual Frederick Restaurant Week from Monday, March 4 – Sunday, March 10, 2019.
Every single year, I find a handful of folks from around the DMV that haven’t participated in the annual festivities, but always mean to put it on their calendar. To be honest, up until a few years ago, I was guilty of missing it too (and kicking myself). So, I thought I’d roundup my top 5 reasons why you shouldn’t miss Frederick’s Restaurant Week ever again and why locals and visitors both love it so much.
