In the Mayor's briefing today, she talked about what DC needs to see in the data to start to reopen, while also highlighting a new testing site. Mayor Bowser and DC Health Director Dr. LaQuandra Nesbitt have consistently stated that there are benchmarks we need to see in the data in order to reopen, you can see those in a chart above, as well as how we compare today.

Small Business Spotlight: San Antonio Bar and Grill
|
|
|
Here is some good news for Brooklanders craving Tex-Mex food. San Antonio Bar and Grill reopened over the weekend. We gave them a call and they said they will be open from 12:00 – 9:00 pm daily (except Mondays). Call them to order pick up 202 832 8080 and delivery is via UberEats. Their menu is listed on their website, although given the current situation, I would not be surprised if they may not have the full menu available, as is the case with many restaurants. We checked the UberEats apps and didn’t see margaritas or other hard beverages offered, so you may have to call about those. But, based on their Facebook posting below, they are definitely advertising margaritas. San Antonio’s is located at 3908 12th St. NE.
