On September 30, 25% indoor capacity will be allowed. Outdoor dining can continue as well. But you can’t sit at or drink at a bar even if it’s in the restaurant. Gramercy Tavern has reopened. So. 1 out of our favorite 3 Taverns. We’ll take it.
Many restaurants are remaining open during the COVID-19 (coronavirus) crisis for take-out and/or delivery. Santa Fe is delivering enchiladas and such with margaritas.
