Washington, DC, is preparing for the inauguration of 47th President Donald J. Trump on Monday, although extreme weather conditions pushed the swearing-in ceremony indoors.
Inauguration Day begins with that ceremony at noon. It concludes with the official inaugural balls, according to Destination DC.
Numerous restaurants throughout the greater DC area were inspired by the inauguration peculiarities and experiences to mark the event, they told Fox News Digital earlier this week.
WHAT’S ON THE MENU FOR DONALD TRUMP’S INAUGURAL LUNCHEON?
Here are some outstanding offers on DC restaurants.
Pair a burger and fries with a Diet Coke
At the Watergate Hotel, patrons can mark the inauguration at The Next Whiskey Bar to celebrate one of President Trump’s favorite whiskeys with an elevated note, the Presidential Stack.
This dish is a gourmet take on the classic hamburger, paired with golden truffle fries and a bucket diet coke for the ultimate bow to Trump.

Prepare a 3-course dinner inspired by the presidents
New Heights Restaurant in DC’s Woodley Park neighborhood is hosting a culinary journey through history with a special three-course dinner menu, “The President’s Feast: Tastes of Inaugural History.”
Offered exclusively through the end of January, this meal boasts selections from the official menu served at congressional luncheons of past US presidents.

“Since New Heights opened in 1986, we’ve seen seven leaders in office, so to create a menu of the same dishes enjoyed by past presidents is an awe-inspiring moment for me,” said Executive Chef Jose Molina.
“Cooking for others has always been my greatest joy – it’s the reason I became a chef – so I couldn’t think of a better way to celebrate this history than to give our guests the opportunity to enjoy these same iconic dishes,” he also said.
