A partnership with the D.C.-based TwentyTables app brings affordable food options to the GW community in Potomac Square beginning today—with launch giveaways on Wednesday.
Looking for new food options? A new George Washington University partnership with dining app TwentyTables will bring those options to the university community, including four food trucks daily in Potomac Square from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. for lunch and from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. for dinner.
To celebrate the partnership, GW and TwentyTables will host a kickoff event from 10:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Oct. 30 at Potomac Square with food and merchandise giveaways and a ribbon cutting with President Thomas LeBlanc. TwentyTables is also running a series of promotions for the kickoff, including the Golden Ticket giveaway where a student can win free meals for the semester.
At Potomac Square, which is an open area in the 2000 block of G Street across from Lisner Hall, food trucks will regularly be stationed throughout the year for lunch and dinner service. The Potomac Square initiative aimed to bring another community space to the university.
Mark Diaz, executive vice president and chief financial officer, said the recent renovation of Potomac Square to feature covered seating areas and an array of seating was part of this summer’s effort to direct $10 million toward dozens of projects in residential, academic and administrative spaces, improving the university community’s experience and enhancing GW’s culture.
“University leadership saw Potomac Square as a perfect opportunity to utilize a previously underused space to enhance the GW community by increasing on-campus areas to meet and socialize,” Mr. Diaz said. “Potomac Square has been transformed from an open-air meeting area into a vibrant and robust space where students, faculty and staff can eat, spend time together and relax.”
