PROMO: Posh DC Restaurant


If you are looking for a good meal and a great time, head on over to Posh, located at 730 11th St, NW, Washington, DC 20001, between H & G streets and can be reached via phone (202-393-0975). POSH uses social networking sites Twitter and Facebook to share information with consumers about upcoming events, musical performances, menu items, as well as answer their questions about the restaurant. In addition, they will be launching a blogger outreach initiative to communicate with the foodie & nightlife themed blogs. You can follow Posh on Twitter (http://twitter.com/poshdc), and on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/pages/Washington-DC/POSH-Restaurant-and-Supper-Club/59022747349).

They have quite a few hot nights planned each month including "Girlfriends Night Out" – a $28 three course menu which includes complimentary manicures – and "Old School Funk Fest" – an 80-inspired evening hosted by BK Kirkland of "The Groove" on Sirius XM Radio and featuring the music of DJ Woody Wood. They also have "Karaoke Night" every Wednesday.

I have attended the "Old School Funk Fest" on two occasions and we had a ball! The DJ played all of the old school jams like "Apache" and "This is How We Do It" and even went back to some old Parliament. He was spinning all the right old school tunes. Both times, our dinner was fabulous. The portions were good and the meal was delivered in a timely manner. My friends and I also love the atmosphere. It has an open layout which sets the perfect mood. Check out Posh when you are looking for a restaurant with great food and great ambience.
