60 Black Owned Restaurants in the DC Area with Outdoor Seating

As we all try to slowly return to some sense of normalcy, many of us want to get back out and enjoy some of the restaurants we’ve missed so much. Restaurants in the DC area continue to pivot in these trying times, doing their best to satisfy customers’ needs and keep their own people safe. Part of that pivoting process is the expansion of outdoor seating for some establishments, and the creation of outside seating for others. Though indoor seating is available in some instances at fifty percent capacity, for those patrons not comfortable dining indoors, adjustments have been made to offer outdoor seating where there was none before. Neighborhoods have even blocked off streets to accommodate outdoor dining.

In the past six months I’ve seen restaurants close, and thankfully reopen. Small businesses closing and not reopening has been a fear of mine since the onset of the pandemic, specifically closures of Black-owned businesses. While we are all trying to support our favorite restaurants any way we can, if you are dining out, consider supporting one of these Black-owned businesses in DC, Maryland, and Virginia that offer outdoor dining.

    Hi there would you mind stating which blog platform you’re working with? I’m looking to start my own blog in the near future but I’m having a tough time selecting between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal. The reason I ask is because your design seems different then most blogs and I’m looking for something completely unique. P.S My apologies for being off-topic but I had to ask!
