March 1, 2021 – National Cherry Blossom Festival Encourages Support of D.C. Area Restaurants Through Cherry Picks Program
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Washington, D.C. [March 1, 2021] – The National Cherry Blossom Festival today announced that more than 170 restaurants across Washington, D.C., Maryland, and Virginia are participating in its 19th annual Cherry Picks program. Presented with the Restaurant Association of Metropolitan Washington, Cherry Picks shines a spotlight on the region’s dynamic food and drink options and encourages the community to support local restaurants throughout the 2021 National Cherry Blossom Festival – March 20-April 11. Nearly 130 restaurants on this year’s Cherry Picks list are new and nearly 20 percent have locations outside of the District.
“I’m excited to have a record number of amazing restaurants participating in Cherry Picks,” said Diana Mayhew, president and CEO of the National Cherry Blossom Festival. “I hope the community will show these restaurants some love throughout the 2021 Festival. There are takeout, delivery, and outdoor dining options, so this year’s Cherry Picks provides people with excellent opportunities to try new restaurants or support some old favorites.”
One Cherry Picks restaurant, Officina, with locations in The Wharf and Georgetown, will be featuring a special picnic kit, curated “in fond recollection of the days we spent with friends sipping wine, sampling salumi, and creating memories.” Each kit includes a selection of Officina’s favorite salumi, preserves, and snacks, and is designed for two guests to bring along to the waterfront or beach, or just to enjoy while sitting on the balcony. Officina’s menu includes batched cocktails that can be added to any order.
