WASHINGTON, D.C. - Georgetown, recently named “Best Neighborhood for Shopping,” is hosting a week-long celebration in May in honor of the release of spring’s most highly-anticipated sequel, inviting style mavens to celebrate shopping, dine at Georgetown’s hottest restaurants and pamper themselves.

Local participating merchants and restaurants will all come together from May 23-30 to offer exclusive specials on food, drinks and spa services.

As D.C. fashionistas anxiously await the film’s release date, there is no better place to celebrate the sequel’s release than in a neighborhood renowned for its superb shopping and stylish retail options. Georgetown is hosting “Style in the City” week and will offer shoppers movie tickets, fashion events, VIP gift bags and more.

Participating Georgetown restaurants will offer $5 Cosmopolitans to style-savvy patrons throughout the week, as well as brunch specials on both Sundays during the event. Salons and spas throughout the neighborhood will offer champagne “Bring a Girlfriend” spa treatments such as facials and pedicures where women can get pampered and sip bubbly with a girlfriend at a special discounted rate.

Several shops and chic boutiques along the retail-lined cobblestone streets of Georgetown will invite clothing devotees to shop the hottest summer looks and give away exclusive “Style in the City” gift bags filled with posh goodies, including a movie ticket to AMC Georgetown, with every $150 purchase.

To receive their “Style and the City” gift bag and other specials, customers need to mention the ”Style in the City”  promotion.. Bags are available while supplies last.

Moviegoers who see the film at AMC Loews Georgetown 14 will also get a few special perks when they show their ticket stubs at participating merchants.
