Yesterday we spoke about the awesome bread (and menu, Claire notes “Had the chicken curry and spring rolls last night and they were SO GOOD!”) Natalia sent us from Emilie’s (1101 Pennsylvania Ave. SE) which prompted this very important query from meredith: “Speaking of bread, is there a roundup of places to get bakery items right now?” So back to that scrumptious looking photo – who else is offering great bread for take out or delivery?!?
Thanks to Sarah and Dennis for sending. Dennis reports: “Union Market’s rules: they divided the stores between grocery and takeout.”
Sarah reports: “Union market requiring everyone to order through an app and then have things brought to them. it looks like most will take caviar, door dash, postmates, grub hub, and Uber eats. Peregrine espresso uses an app called Joe Coffee.”

From Old Europe:
“Dear friends and patrons of Old Europe,
On Monday afternoon, DC Mayor Muriel Bowser announced that starting at 10 PM, all restaurants and bars in DC would be temporarily closed for dine-in service. Old Europe is of course, no exception, so in order to ensure you can still get your German food fix, we are shifting to DELIVERY AND TAKEOUT SERVICE ONLY.
At the moment, the restaurant will be open for orders from a limited menu from 11 AM until 8 PM. As we announced in the previous email, delivery through us is FREE now with no minimum! We are also partnered with third-party delivery apps Doordash and UberEats. Please see below for more details. (more…)

From ABRA:
“This evening, Mayor Muriel Bowser signed into law the COVID-19 Response Emergency Amendment Act of 2020.
Included is a provision that allows ABC-licensed restaurants and taverns to sell beer, wine, and spirits in closed containers for carry-out and/or delivery to DC residences in conjunction with the purchase of one or more prepared food items.”
Ed. Note: If you notice my productivity decreasing…
From the Mayor’s Office:
“Today, to mitigate the spread of the coronavirus (COVID-19), Mayor Muriel Bowser issued Mayor’s Order 2020-04: Prohibition on Mass Gatherings During Public Health Emergency – Coronavirus (COVID-19).”

“Dear PoPville,
Can we get a running list of local businesses (I’m thinking restaurants and bars, but could be anything else that comes to mind) that offer gift cards / certificates for sale? That could be a way for us to provide at least a bit of support to small businesses and their employees as they struggle through this situation.
Thanks– and stay safe out there.”
Please add spots you run across in the comments – THANK YOU to all who’ve written.

From a press release:
“In response to the increasing risk of the COVID-19 coronavirus and to help encourage social distancing to stop its spread, Chef José Andrés and ThinkFoodGroup announced they will temporarily close all of their restaurants in the Washington, D.C., area and New York City as of today, March 15, and repurpose most of them as “community kitchens” with affordable plates of the day available for takeout purchase.
Said TFG Co-Founder Jose Andres, “We are in a serious global emergency and people need to take every precaution, including staying home as much as possible. However, we also want to help provide food for those who want it in a safe manner, so we feel these community kitchens can help during this challenging time. And those who cannot afford to pay we will welcome as well.”
The community kitchens will operate out of the restaurants’ side doors with a limited number of volunteers from 12 – 5 pm daily beginning Tuesday, March 17, offering only takeout service. All restaurant employees will be provided with paid leave and current health benefits for at least the first two weeks.

“A friend forwarded me this email from Khepra’s Raw Food Juice Bar. It is terrifying to me that a business in my neighborhood is spreading the message that COVID-19 is a hoax.”
