EAT THIS
Chipotle Mexican Grill is feeling charitable today. From 11 a.m. to 10 p.m., 50 percent of all proceeds will benefit the Washington Humane Society–Washington Animal Rescue League. The catch is that you have to mention the fundraiser at the register. If there was ever a day for an office field trip to Chipotle, this is it. All downtown D.C. locations will be participating, as well as shops in Silver Spring, Bethesda, and Rockville. (Laura Hayes)
