Nando’s Peri-Peri is using today’s Metro closure as an excuse to give away free food. All five D.C. locations will offer a free chicken entree from 11 a.m. to noon for anyone who brings in their SmarTrip card. Entree options include a quarter chicken, chicken sandwich, wrap, or pita. The offer is only available for dine-in orders. Nando’s Peri-Peri, multiple locations, nandosperiperi.com. (Jessica Sidman)
