BLACK FRIDAY

IN BETHESDA

After you've fortified yourself with Thanksgiving dinner at home (or at one of the restaurants open for dinner at Bethesda Row tonight like American Tap Room) the next order of business at hand is... shopping!

Maybe one day we'll have a Walmart or Target in Bethesda, but until then, here's a list of Black Friday deals around town:

MIDNIGHT Westfield Montgomery (Montgomery Mall)

Stop first at the Concierge Desk! The first 500 people to do so win a free gift. Additional prizes will be given away between 12-5 AM.

McDonald's and many other restaurants in the food court will be open throughout the night.

Here are a couple of deals:

Sears: The first 200 purchases of clothing, intimate apparel and accessories will win a free Thomas Kinkade ornament.

Macy's: A $550 Tommy Hilfiger Leather Jacket for men is only $129!

9:00 AM BETHESDA ROW

Are we just late risers in downtown Bethesda, or do good things come to those who wait? The women of Bethesda would say the latter, as the boutiques of Bethesda Row are having their biggest Black Friday ever!

And, don't forget, American Tap Room will open for brunch.

Here's the full list:
