And Offers Spring Holiday Specials Throughout the Month
WASHINGTON, D.C. (April 26, 2019) – From the Kentucky Derby to Cinco de Mayo and Mother’s Day, Dirty Habit will have plenty of options for guests looking to feast and celebrate next month. With the sleek, outdoor patio now open, the luxe restaurant and bar is offering a new menu of Asian street food in the courtyard, exclusive mezcal flights, a select menu of appetizers and entrées on the patio, and thematic drink specials to celebrate the spring holidays.
Patio Food Cart
Right in time for warm weather, Executive Chef Kyoo Eom has created savory, delectable bites available on the restaurant’s new patio food cart.
