Reminder from Nando’s:
“Need lunch, Washington? Then hurry to Nando’s Dupont Circle today for a Nando’s “Dash.” Nando’s will be offering succulent PERi-PERi chicken and other entrees–for free–to our guests from 11am to 1pm on Thursday March 7th.
What’s a #NandosDash? Simply dash on over to the Nando’s PERi-PERi restaurant on Dupont Circle (1210 18th Street, NW) to get a free quarter-chicken, chicken sandwich, wrap, or pita. It’s Nando’s way of saying thank you to its patient fans during our recent renovation. (more…)
“Dear PoPville,
