The novel coronavirus pandemic is affecting people and cities across the country. Facing uncertain times, Twin Cities restaurants are doing all that they can to pivot with the times to stay afloat and protect the safety of customers. Many restaurants, from Rainbow Chinese to Joan’s in the Park, have added curbside pickup or delivery options. Meanwhile, others, like D’Amico and Sea Change, have made the tough decision to suspend business and lay off employees. Even Travail, possibly the most anticipated spring opening, has postponed its opening date.
This story is constantly changing, and this list will be updated as the situation progresses.
