Dining Specials
Our readers love to dine out. In fact, they spend a total of $10.9 billion every year in food service and drinking establishments — that’s $4,761 in annual spending per household.
Washington Post Magazine readers are the most passionate restaurant-goers of the lot. With an average household income of $130,000, they have the means to dine out often.
- In an average month, 86% of our readers dine at a “sit-down” restaurant.
- More than six in ten dine out three or more times a month, and one in three dine out five or more times a month.
In 2007, we offer you outstanding opportunities to reach these restaurant enthusiasts, with editorial features and advertising sections showcasing the best in Washington dining. Learn more about how our Dining Specials can best serve your advertising needs.
Be seen where Washington goes for restaurant advice. Through our Dining Specials, you’ll reach your best customers and prospects — in environments that are all about dining. What better places for your advertising?
Our readers check The Magazine for reviews on which restaurants to choose. Nearly four in ten of our readers went to a restaurant as a result of reading ads and editorial in The Magazine. One in five bought or shopped for products or services advertised in The Magazine.
Washington Post food critic Tom Sietsema is hotter than ever. Not only is his Dining column one of our readers’ favorites, but Tom received a first place award for restaurant criticism from the Association of Food Journalists and his second book is almost sold out. There’s never been a better time to advertise with his weekly column and in his special features.
Or tell our readers what you have to offer — twice. Advertise in Capital Cuisine — our special advertising section — and in addition to seeing your ad, our readers will be treated to an advertorial writeup of your restaurant as well.
