Washington, D.C., is preparing for the inauguration of the 47th President Donald J. Trump on Monday, even as extreme weather has pushed the swearing-in ceremony indoors.

Inauguration Day begins with that ceremony at noon. It concludes with official inaugural balls, according to Destination DC.

A number of restaurants throughout the greater D.C. area are featuring inauguration-inspired specials and experiences to mark the event, they told Fox News Digital earlier this week. 

WHAT'S ON THE MENU FOR DONALD TRUMP'S INAUGURAL LUNCHEON?

Here are some stand-out offerings at D.C. restaurants. 

At the Watergate Hotel, visitors can mark the inauguration at The Next Whisky Bar to celebrate one of President Trump's favorites with an elevated twist, the Presidential Stack. 

This dish features a gourmet take on the classic burger, paired with golden truffle fries and a bucket of Diet Cokes for the ultimate nod to Trump. 

Also available at The Next Whisky Bar is the Presidential Bites Flight, a selection of luxe small plates created to define the occasion. 

Savor black truffle sliders with wagyu beef, mini lobster rolls created from Maine lobster, caviar, yuzu aioli and foie gras.

Save room for oysters with caviar, served alongside traditional accouterments, and be sure to sip champagne.

"In honor of this historic inauguration, we crafted a menu that balances playfulness and sophistication, embodying the celebratory spirit of the Watergate Hotel," executive chef Tony DiGregorio told Fox News Digital. 

"From the indulgent Presidential Stack to the curated bites flight, every dish pays homage to tradition with an elevated twist."

At the Salamander Washington D.C., consider booking the "Table 47 Experience."

The special menu for two includes whiskey, wine and culinary bites by executive chef Walter Alvarado. 

"Guests and locals alike can indulge in the Table 47 Experience, featuring rare whiskeys, vintage wines and expertly curated bites," Alvarado told Fox News Digital. 

"We are also pleased to present our presidential afternoon tea, a tribute to the remarkable legacies of our nation's presidents."

At the New Heights Restaurant in D.C.'s Woodley Park neighborhood, there's a culinary journey through history with a special three-course dinner menu, "A Presidential Feast: Flavors from Inaugural History." 

Offered exclusively through the end of January, this meal boasts selections from the official menu items served at past U.S. presidents' congressional lunches. 

The congressional lunch is a longstanding tradition held after the swearing-in ceremony. 

"Since New Heights opened back in 1986, we've seen seven leaders in office, so creating a menu from the same dishes enjoyed by past presidents is a truly awe-inspiring moment for me," executive chef Jose Molina said. 

"Cooking for others has always been my greatest joy – it's why I became a chef – so I couldn't think of a better way to celebrate this history than by giving our guests the chance to enjoy these same iconic dishes," he also said.

"And doing it right here in our nation's capital makes it even more special." 

At Blue Duck Tavern in the Park Hyatt Washington D.C., visitors can sip and savor an afternoon tea from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. the weekend before Monday's inauguration.

The tavern touts that its tea cellar is home to one of the most expansive tea collections in the United States, with over 30 rare, limited-production, single-estate teas. 

The tea experience also includes chef-curated food and gourmet pastries.

"Park Hyatt Washington D.C. is adding more noble items, such as lobster and caviar to the afternoon tea menu in anticipation of our guests' expectations for this important event," noted Jean-Claude Plihon, Blue Duck Tavern's director of culinary and food and beverage.

Millions of new cases of diabetes and heart disease every year are caused by sugary drinks, according to newly published research.

Tufts University in Boston led the study, which found that about 2.2 million new diagnoses of type 2 diabetes and 1.2 million new cases of cardiovascular disease were attributed to sugar-sweetened sodas and juices each year, according to a press release.

The findings were published in the journal Nature Medicine this week. 

HEART ATTACK RISK COULD RISE WITH ARTIFICIAL SWEETENER CONSUMPTION, STUDY FINDS

The highest rates were found in Colombia, where 48% of new diabetes cases were linked to sugary drinks, and in Mexico, where nearly a third of cases were attributed to them.

Meanwhile, in Latin America, more than 24% of new diabetes cases were linked to sugary beverages, and 21% in sub-Saharan Africa, the study found.

In South Africa, 27.6% of new diabetes cases and 14.6% of cardiovascular disease cases were attributed to sugary drinks.

Sugary drinks cause blood sugar to spike because they are "rapidly digested," the research team said. 

When consumed on a long-term basis, these types of beverages, in addition to increasing the risk of type 2 diabetes and heart disease, can also lead to weight gain and insulin resistance, the researchers added.

Professor Dariush Mozaffarian, the study's senior author, said in a university press release, "Sugar-sweetened beverages are heavily marketed and sold in low- and middle-income nations." 

He added, "Not only are these communities consuming harmful products, but they are also often less well-equipped to deal with the long-term health consequences."

Certain groups are more likely to experience negative health effects from sugary drinks, including men and younger adults, the researchers noted, as news agency SWNS also noted.

New Jersey-based registered dietitian Erin Palinski-Wade, who was not involved in the research, said the findings were to be expected, as diets rich in added sugars are more likely to increase the risk of chronic health conditions, including type 2 diabetes.

"Sugar-sweetened beverages are a major cause of added sugar in the diet and easy to overconsume, as they provide little fullness," she told Fox News Digital.

"The high calorie content and lack of satisfaction due to little protein, fat or fiber in these drinks can lead to excess calorie consumption, which can lead to weight gain — especially gains in visceral fat (belly fat), which has been found to increase the risk of type 2 diabetes," she went on.

Palinski-Wade pointed out that there were some limitations to the new research.

"This was an observational study, not a causation study, and shows only an association between diets containing sugar-sweetened beverages and diabetes," she noted. 

"It does not prove that those drinks alone trigger an onset of type 2 diabetes."

To remedy the issue, the study authors called for a "multi-pronged approach," including public health campaigns, regulations on advertising and taxes on sugar-sweetened beverages, the release stated.

"We need urgent, evidence-based interventions to curb consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages globally, before even more lives are shortened by their effects on diabetes and heart disease," first author Laura Lara-Castor, now at the University of Washington, said in the release.

Mexico implemented a sugary drinks tax in 2014, which has shown to be effective in reducing consumption, the researchers stated.

"Much more needs to be done, especially in countries in Latin America and Africa, where consumption is high and the health consequences severe," wrote Mozaffarian.

"As a species, we need to address sugar-sweetened beverage consumption."

Many different factors are involved in insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes, Palinski-Wade noted.

"However, reducing your intake of sugar-sweetened beverages can go a long way toward improving overall blood sugar regulation and future health."

The new research was supported by the Gates Foundation, the American Heart Association and Mexico’s National Council for Science and Technology. 

Fox News Digital reached out to the researchers for further comment.

A traveler took to social media to ask whether passengers could ask for a whole can of soda versus just a small cup filled with the bubbly beverage.

Posted in the "r/delta" forum, the user's comment said, "I was told once by a FA [flight attendant] on the plane you can ask for ‘a can of soda’ rather than just the cup they usually give you."

The user also wrote, "On a recent flight, the flight attendant told me no. (He was NOT a nice FA. I was surprised, honestly.)"

"Then on another flight after that, the guy said, ‘Oh, you’re gonna be that guy, huh?’ It was all lighthearted and we laughed, and I was not offended in any way … (He gave me the can.)"

The user asked fellow Redditors if it was "annoying" to ask flight attendants for the whole can.

"I always ask for the whole can when I get mixed drinks on the plane and no one’s ever said no," shared one user.

Another added, "I think it really depends on how many cans they have and how likely they're going to run out of [soda]."

TRAVELERS MAY FACE YET ANOTHER ‘TOURIST TAX’ WHEN VISITING CERTAIN CITIES

One user who claimed to be a flight attendant said, "Usually it’s not a problem, but sometimes, if 2 or 3 people in a row ask for a can [and] we’re not even 20% of the way done with service, I’ll politely decline and say that if I have enough, I’ll bring the can back later."

"Who cares if it's annoying? It's not an unreasonable request given the prices we pay. And if they don't have it, they don't have it," commented a traveler.

One user suggested, "I've always said that ‘I don't need the cup.’"

"Bottle of water gets a ‘no’ most of the time," said a Redditor.

Another added, "If it's a regional jet, the flight attendant is working alone in the back with a tiny half-cart and very limited stock. Definitely no full cans then."
