Happy Hour Social to Kick Off Silver Spring Restaurant Week

Montgomery County residents will have a chance to taste 25 of Silver Spring’s “top” restaurants at a week that promises flavors and new tradition on Sept. 8 to 13.

But before that, Montgomery County Councilmember Tom Hucker and Maryland Comptroller Peter Franchot are scheduled to host the Happy Hour Social- an event to kick-off the upcoming Silver Spring Restaurant Week today at 5 p.m. at A.G. Kitchen in Silver Spring.

“Downtown Silver Spring continues to grow as one of this area’s best places for dining and entertainment, but there are still many people who have yet to discover the variety and quality of our restaurants. Diners who come here, and restaurant critics, heap praise on our dining choices, and now, at these great prices, people will have even more incentive to either come to downtown Silver Spring for the first time or for regular Silver Spring diners to try restaurants at which they have not yet dined,” Hucker said on a news release.

Hucker initiated the effort to help county residents discover some of the “area’s best dining establishments.”

According to a news release, during Silver Spring Restaurant Week, participating restaurants will offer two-course lunches for $12 and three-course lunches for $17. Two-course dinners will be available for $17 and three-course dinners will be offered for $27.

Hucker also said organizers expect additional restaurants to be added to the list.
