I wanted to write an article highlighting the incredible job that some of the restaurants are doing, in order to adapt to the new way things are, due to the Pandemic, in times of crisis it is essential that restaurants adapt to the new way things are or simply not survive, I can not speak on the restaurants outside of Port Richmond/Fishtown, because I am following the guidelines and only taking Public transportation when I absolutely have to, but it is great to see some restaurants, change the way that they normally do business, just to survive, from Murph’s Bar in Fishtown, which has some of the most delicious Italian food, adding a takeout only space upfront, so that you can easily pay, grab and go, Joe’s Steaks at Girard and Frankford Ave is using their very convenient side window, so you can get your cheesesteaks with very little contact, Johnny Brenda’s across the street has made it very easy to grab and go from their side door, we have received several emails asking what people can do to help their favorite restaurant in this time of need and I would suggest that ordering take out or delivery is the most effective way, we have had some listeners expressing concern about buying a gift card and then being stuck if the restaurant goes out of business and I think that we all just need to stay positive and only think positive thoughts right now, I betcha that if you check, your favorite restaurant is open and adjusting to the Pandemic, I have an article on this very website that talks about the different delivery systems, such as Caviar, which gives you the option of a no contact delivery and a lot of restaurants will do that at your request, the quarantine has been extended until April 30th, so let’s all join together and order takeout or delivery in support of the restaurants that we love, I just ordered a delicious, homemade Meatloaf dinner tonight from Best Deli in Port Richmond and not only received a delicious meatloaf dinner, but it came in a really high quality plastic container, with a sealable lid for like 9 bucks, not only was it delicious, but I will be using that container for weeks and months to come, so please go order takeout, delivery or simply buy a gift card and help your favorite restaurant today
