As the growing threat of COVID-19 continues to spread, Northern Virginia restaurateurs are facing the complicated task of choosing how to move forward in an ever-changing climate.
While some local businesses have officially closed their doors for the time being, others have added takeaway options, including curbside pickup and online ordering. Plus, Virginia has substantially eased restrictions on the sale and distribution of alcohol, enabling restaurants to offer alcohol through drive-thru and delivery sales.
