It has now been exactly four weeks since restaurants in Massachusetts were ordered to close except for takeout and/or delivery, and changes continue to happen among dining spots and other food places in the Greater Boston area, including more closings and reopenings.
According to various sources, including posters within the Friends of Boston's Hidden Restaurants Facebook group page, at least two places have decided to completely close for now (including takeout/delivery), with both being in Malden--Pearl Street Station and Fresco's Roast Beef & Seafood. At least two others have either reopened or are in the process of reopening, with The Painted Burro in Somerville's Davis Square now being open for takeout and delivery and Gracie's Ice Cream in the Union Square section of Somerville beginning ice cream pint pickup on Friday, April 17.
It seems likely that other restaurants and food spots could be closing or reopening over the coming days, so keep checking back for more updates.
[April 17 update: More spots are either reopening or in the process of reopening, including Joseph's Bakery in South Boston, which opened back up yesterday for takeout/pickup, and both Ebi Sushi in Somerville and Sushi Kappo, which reopen today for takeout/delivery according to owner Jose Garcia. In addition, an email sent to us indicates that Zuma Boston in the Boston's Back Bay is now open for takeout and delivery Wednesday through Saturday for dinner, while sources tell us that the Watertown location of Not Your Average Joe's and the Newton location of Cook have both reopened for takeout/delivery as well.]
