WASHINGTON, DC--(Marketwired - Apr 9, 2013) - Washington, DC is once again the center of spring celebrations, as the National Cherry Blossom Festival brings nearly a month of tours, exhibitions, parades, parties, performances and more to the city. For those who simply want a taste of the festival or a way to cap off a great day of events, the Renaissance Washington, DC Dupont Circle Hotel is offering festival-inspired dishes and drinks at its M Brasserie and Bar.
Available throughout the festival, closing on April 14th, the Foggy Bottom restaurant is offering Japanese-inspired dishes from executive chef Devon Capili and a festival-themed cocktail, all at prices that won't break the bank.
Stop in for lunch, dinner or an afternoon snack at this hotel near Adams Morgan and enjoy an ahi tuna sashimi salad with white asparagus and yuzu dressing ($15), or salmon yakitori with stir-fried vegetables and wasabi-pepper sauce ($14). Need a post-work pick-me-up? Try the refreshing Cherry Blossom Cooler cocktail made with Grey Goose Citron, dark cherry juice, fresh mint and soda ($12).
Beyond the festival specials, M Brasserie and Bar offers a wide-ranging menu for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The stylish lobby bar and restaurant features a communal table where guests can hold impromptu meetings and celebrations, or meet new friends.

Classic cocktails feature fresh juices, herbs and fine liquors such as the Cosmo Thymes Ten with Hendricks gin, cranberry juice and fresh thyme. Cosmopolitan creations are inspired by Andy Warhol's Factory Days and include smooth and simple vermouth-based drinks mixed with fresh juices, muddled fruits and herbs; try the Pop Art'ini or Velvet Edie. To liven things up, the Dupont Circle restaurant's creative cocktails incorporate vitamin-C rich fizzies™ into drinks such as the tequila-based Lobby Lizard.
