Morton’s the Steakhouse Georgetown: Planit Meetings New Favorite Happy Hour

 

Last week, looking for a quiet bar in DC to go with friends, we decided to try Morton’s, and then wondered why we had been avoiding it all these years! We loved Morton’s Georgetown so much, that we went back again last evening – 3 times in 2 weeks.  Morton’s Bar on Mondays is the perfect place to hold an office staff meeting, impress a potential client, and or have a date night. You know that Planit Meetings does not give out superlatives lightly: our reputation is on the line.

 Morton’s is, for lack of a better word, wonderful: where the mythical Boston ‘Cheers’ bar would be, if it were in DC, and had a restaurant attached:  nice bar staff, comfortable seating, the kind of place where you can have good, long talks with your friends comfortably, while keeping an eye on one of the bar's TVs across the room (as in NCAA tournament that starts tonight). Further, outdoor seating gets you a good Café Milano-watching spot, as in hoping to catch a glimpse of political or entertainment industry celebs who dine there. (Morton’s is accessible, egalitarian, affordable.)

Beers are $5, wine $6.50, martinis $7.50.  What Planit Meetings really, really loves are the sumptuous bar bites, that, at between $6 and $7, are large enough for a meal, and totally affordable. We’ve tried all the bar bites. The iceberg lettuce wedge bites gets you your veggie MDR, the smoked salmon pizza, your weekly Omega-3 MDR. The cheeseburger or filet mignon sliders are Atkin’s diet perfection. If you like crab cakes, you will honestly find none better than Morton's. I tried to get the recipe. That good.

Morton’s is the kind of place that you like to hang around, bring people to every day, especially because it’s an easy segue into the dining room, and a full dinner, at a later time.

The bartender told us last night that Morton’s will be undergoing an unobtrusive renovation in the coming weeks. The menu will include more vegetarian entrees and bar bites, and the restaurant will be more open, lighter. Hard to improve upon this place, but would love to see some mushrooms added to bar bite menu.

Planit Meetings cannot think of a better place, than Morton's Georgetown, to stop for a drink and ‘snack’ on the way home from work. 

Happy Hour Power Hour prices mentioned above are available 5-6:30 and 9pm to closing.

Planit Meetings Offers Portion of Commissions to Midwestern Tornado Relief Effort

Please spread the word. Planit Meetings is giving a portion of all commissions on new individual or group hotel reservations, made during the month of March, 2012, to aide the Indiana tornado relief efforts. Planit Meetings firmly believes that it is the responsibility of all of us to help, however we can. We are not free to go to Indiana and the other hard-hit states to help in clean-up and rebuilding efforts; YOU and we, together, can help in another way.


Planit Meetings receives small commissions from hotels, when we make hotel reservations for individuals or groups. We are giving 33% of any earned commissions for any new reservations, whether for one night for one room, or three nights for 20 rooms, or 100 rooms to help out in the disaster.

Watch this blog to find out the tornado disaster relief org that we will be helping.We believe that funds should go to the Indiana chapter of the American Red Cross, earmarked Indiana tornado relief. Open to suggestions.

Please tell friends, neighbors, colleagues that on all hotel reservations, for individuals or groups of any size, made during March 2012, Planit Meetings will give 33% of all realized hotel commissions to aide tornado relief.

Planit Meetings has a ten-year history of helping out. For the past year, we have been actively fundraising for a no-kill animal rescue in the south. Over the years, we have been actively contributing time and earnings to help others in need, like Katrina relief efforts, and Haiti.

Planit Meetings has long time Indiana roots and loyalties, with one third of our staff attending undergrad and or grad school at universities in Indiana. 


For rate inquiries about hotels in cities in the US, email:  susan@planitmeetings.com

We offer discounted rates, no-walk guarantees, complimentary concierge services, at hotels in most cities in the US. Our services are FREE, NO pre-pay, cancellable without penalty 24 hours prior to arrival.

This weekend, we at Planit Meetings have been contacting restaurants, hoteliers and our Planit Meetings counterparts in Indiana to help out, whether stocking shelters with bed linen, offering shelter and or food at hotels.

We have been inspired by newsreports of Hoosiers helping Hoosiers.

Watch this space for updates.
