A Comité Tricolore Dinner in a film noir inspired venue !

Just beyond the bustle of DC’s main corridors lies Dirty Habit, the guilt-free restaurant and bar and the one habit you need to keep. At the epicenter of Penn Quarter and Chinatown, right across the street from the Capital One Arena, this film noir-inspired venue is a contrast to the classic architecture of our host, the iconic 1841 General Post Office. Whatever your desire, our team crafts a seamless experience, seasonally inspired by the freshest products along with cutting-edge execution.

25 tickets are available at the price of $ 100 per person, which consists of $75 for your meal (tax and tip included, drinks excluded) and $25 as a donation to the Comité Tricolore (larger donations are of course encouraged). The donation is tax deductible.

Give a hot meal to the less fortunate and back local restaurants.

La Casa-Friendship Place is a building in Columbia Heights, DC that accommodates 40 men who have been previously homeless and who are very vulnerable in terms of their physical or psychological health.

On site, a staff of some 10 people helps them manage their medical needs and improve their living conditions.

Each of them has a small individual studio and has to manage his own food budget. Their income is very limited or even non-existent. During the pandemic, residents find it more difficult to go to the supermarket to do their shopping. Friendship Place which is managing the center has created a pantry to compensate for the lack of resources, but no hot meals are ever served.

Our Project :

In partnership with the French Embassy, the Comité Tricolore is committed to :

• Provide one hot meal per week (or to be reheated) to the residents and support staff of La Casa.
• Help the restaurants and chefs of our region who are partners of the Comité Tricolore by purchasing meals for the residents of La Casa.
• Do so by promoting the French values of friendship and solidarity through good, healthy meals.
