“Like others I’ve been stuck inside but also trying to support my local establishments and service workers as much as I can. I stopped into Purple Patch in Mount Pleasant (3155 Mt Pleasant St, NW) this morning to pick up some carryout and was pleasantly surprised to find they’ve turned the restaurant into a makeshift market with spirits, wine, beer, coffee to go, their restaurant shrub, and little packages of desserts, appetizers, etc.
Even cooler, the owner Patrice has set up a little area where she has fruit, juice boxes, and prepared to-go meals for kids for free from 9-12. I thought that was amazing.
In any event, there are so few bright spots these days I thought I would share how one of my local places is trying to transform and still give something back.”
