Many restaurants in Washington, D.C. that temporarily closed as part of measures against the spread of the coronavirus are slowly going back to business, but only for takeout and delivery as a dine-in ban is still in place.
St. Anselm, located at 1250 5th Street, Northeast Union Market, reopened Tuesday, May 19, according to Eater D.C.
You can order takeout or get your meal delivered by St. Anselm between 4:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m. Tuesday-Thursday; from 4:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. Friday-Saturday, and 4:00 p.m.-8:00 p.m. on Sunday. The place is known for premium steaks & sides, as well as its cocktails & brunch.
Little Serow, a Northern-Thailand restaurant at 1511 17th Street, Northwest D.C., is offering a la carte takeout dishes, as well as milk tea and coffee ice cream, non-dairy pineapple-jasmine tea ice cream, beer and wine.
