The following restaurants are still open—for takeout and/or delivery only, of course, and often with limited hours and/or menus. A few notes:
••• Whenever possible, order for delivery by contacting the restaurant directly.
••• Why not throw in a bottle of wine? The more you order, the more you help them in a time of need.
••• I’ll do my best to keep this updated; if you know of a restaurant that is open—or if one of these has closed—email [email protected].
