Support Local Businesses and Non-Profits
This is a really difficult time for everyone and the uncertainty makes it even more difficult. One thing I’m looking forward to is being able to get out and go to local bars, restaurants, and shops again. However, I’m also worried that a lot of them might not be there when this is over. Here’s a list of resources to help you find businesses that are open during this time of social distancing that you can support to make sure things feel as normal as possible when this is all over.
Dining at a Distance has a list of DC restaurants that are open
This Google Doc has a list of Maryland Restaurants broken down by town
Virginia is for Lovers is hosting a Takeout Restaurant Week through April 5th
