A new restaurant in downtown Washington? No. This is what lunches used to be like in the second-floor Metro boardroom, where board members dine during executive sessions most Thursdays after their morning meetings.
The weekly lunches are for 15 people (12 board members and three senior staff members) and average $400 to $500, according to 2005
menus provided by Metro. The budgeted amount is $20,000 annually; last year, the lunches cost the agency just over $15,000.
