"Central Michel Richard decrees this as “Emily (& Michel) in Paris” week (Monday, July 10 to Friday, July 14) as a nod to the popular Netflix series. The late Richard’s legendary French bistro along Pennsylvania Avenue NW is currently decked out with French flags, with beret-donning servers dishing out limited-time dishes, French cocktails, and wines. Pop-up specials from executive chef David Barigault include chouquette (French pastry puffs), hachis parmentier (French beef and potato casserole), Parisian gnocchi, and macaroons. Central also hosts an Emily in Paris-themed party on Bastille Day from (4:30 p.m. to 7 p.m.) across its patio and bar, with guests encouraged to wear their best Emily Cooper look." - Tierney Plumb
