Save Room for Falls Church Restaurant Week

Steak frites and house-made pastas are among the specials at more than 40 Little City eateries, and the promo's been extended through Feb. 8.

Diners have a little longer to enjoy Falls Church Restaurant Week deals. Due to the recent snowstorm, it’s been extended through Feb. 8. A majority (44) of the 60 participating restaurants opted into the extension, and they’re dishing up discounts on everything from bubble tea to haute cuisine. The Passport Challenge is extended, too. Print out or pick up a passport, collect stamps at least eight participating restaurants, and you could win a $100 gift card.
