Amid the global COVID-19 outbreak, officials across the U.S. are encouraging social distancing and self-quarantining measures and the hospitality is feeling the effects full-force.
As of this afternoon, the city of Miami has made the official decision to close bars and nightclubs, dine-in restaurants, entertainment venues, gyms and fitness studios and non-essential businesses to close until further notice. During this time, restaurants and bars that serve food are permitted to remain open for takeout and delivery only. This will go into effect on March 17, 2020 at 11:59 p.m.
However, while the hospitality industry is forced to re-strategize business models, many are offering new delivery and take out services to continue providing for the community. We encourage utilizing these services to support local businesses who will be suffering in this time. The good news is that many of the food delivery services have lowered or eliminated their fees for both restaurants and consumers, encouraging more to participate as this plays out.
Below is an outline of some of our favorite spots by neighborhood where you can currently order-in through delivery or pickup throughout Miami with new updates:
