D.C. Restaurants Will Miss the Typical Inauguration Sales Boost in 2021 | Eater DC

"Tucked off a quiet residential strip on Prospect Street NW in Georgetown, I describe Peacock Cafe as a white-clothed, A-lister-ready spot whose owner Shahab Farivar says he “stocked up” on Champagne and still plans to mark the inauguration in some fashion; he fondly recalls star-studded nights like Obama’s second inauguration in 2013. Its popular menu items include seafood jambalaya, steak frites, rigatoni and grilled chicken, and its location makes outdoor dining, takeout, and delivery relatively viable — but Farivar estimates lunch and dinner sales this week will be just a tenth of what they could have been, roughly $4,000–$6,000 versus the $60,000–$70,000 a moderately priced restaurant might generate during a typical peak inauguration period." - Tierney Plumb
