Old Town North Restaurants Close Dining Rooms, Provide Curbside Service
Our wonderful Old Town North restaurants are creating new strategies to serve the public and remain in business during these difficult times of trying to break the transmission of COVID-19. Several restaurants have announced they will provide curbside service (you place an order by phone or online, and someone will bring it to you at the curb at the appointed time): Some of these are also available through Doordash, Grubhub, and UberEats.
Oak Steakhouse has announced they are temporarily closed. In Old Town North, West Elm has closed temporarily but announced they would still pay their sales associates.
There are many other restaurants in Alexandria that are also providing curbside service. Please check the special website established to inform consumers about restaurant options Visit Alexandria is also compiling a list of local businesses that are finding ways to serve customers, either by appointment or online orders.
This new way of dining shall pass, but for now, it will keep our local restaurants going. In the meantime, stay safe, follow CDC guidelines, don't get hooked on the news broadcasts, and yes, you can go for a walk and see flowering trees and daffodils in the neighborhood. Find happiness through nature.
