Restaurant week
There was a time not long ago when I would spend $20 on food and eat for a week -- ramen, macaroni and cheese, microwave burritos, hot pockets and the occasional bag of baby carrots pretty much carried me through my last two years of college.
To quote Biz Markie, "That was then, this is now."
I'm still verging on broke most of the time, but I can afford a slightly more balanced diet, including the occasional trip to a restaurant for something other than happy hour. That's why I'm glad restaurant week is coming up. For $20.04 at lunch or $30.04 at dinner, you can get a meal at some of DC's best restaurants. If hot spots like The Caucus Room, DC Coast and TenPenh were out of your price range, now is the time to make your date think you're better off than you actually are.

i would urge against going to DC Coast during restaurant week. last year during restaurant week, a group from my office went and had horrible service. about 2.5 hours for lunch, even though the place was not entirely full; our waiter was obviously high; he answered the question of "what's in your tomato soup?" with a bitchy "tomato soup"; and when the group complained about the service, the management didn't care.
