The restaurant boom in the District has generated a lot of buzz recently, but the nation’s capital doesn’t hold a monopoly on regional dining. Just look across the Potomac.
“Northern Virginia’s restaurant scene continues to expand and diversify at a rapid pace, adding to the vibrancy of the industry not only in Virginia, but in the entire region,” said Kathy E. Hollinger, president and CEO of the Restaurant Association of Metropolitan Washington.
According to RAMW, Virginia restaurants now comprise almost a quarter of their members. That’s an increase of 16% over the past five years.
