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.

    When I initially commented I clicked the -Notify me when new feedback are added- checkbox and now every time a remark is added I get 4 emails with the identical comment. Is there any means you can remove me from that service? Thanks!

    With every thing which seems to be building within this subject material, your viewpoints happen to be relatively exciting. On the other hand, I beg your pardon, because I can not give credence to your entire idea, all be it stimulating none the less. It would seem to me that your remarks are actually not totally rationalized and in simple fact you are your self not really totally certain of the point. In any case I did appreciate reading it.
