Happy Thursday from Lancelot!

Happy Friday Bagel Bites,

First, we need more pet pics, people! Drop them here.

Second, Washington restaurant week is next week (yes, I’m bringing back calling it “Washington”). This year 30 Arlington restaurants are participating.

Keep an eye out for our restaurant week guide on Monday!

Scroll on to plan your weekend right!
