DonRocks Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 South Arlington: Pan American Bakery is open - I suspect this list will be moot until later tomorrow, but may as well start it now, and take note of the date-time stamp of each post.

ol_ironstomach Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Metrorail suspending service from 11PM Friday through entire weekend.Metrobus suspending service from 5PM Friday through entire weekend.Silver Spring: The Classics says they intend to stay open through the storm. [awkward plural/singular usage going on here...mebbe I should pretend to use British English and treat a company as a plural object]Frederick: Family Meal to remain open as usual. Frederick: Volt open Friday 5-close, Sat-Sun 11:30-close. Normal closing time is 9:30. If that remains so, then in effect this means they're staying open through their usual brunch/dinner closing. Special snowstorm prix fixe menu available...unclear from their e-mail whether or not this preempts their normal menu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

astrid Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Probably not open tomorrow, but Happy Hour for everyone at Sushi Taro tonight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
astrid Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 But wait...there's more! But for the fear of Metro closing before 11 PM (because...METRO), I would be all over this deal. I hope some folks living within walking distance can take advantage of this great deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pat Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Per the Washington Post's live blog on the storm, among restaurants open for those close enough to get there safely are Maketto on H St., NE, and the Ted's Bulletin on 14th St., NW (don't know about other locations). There is also a mention of the So Others Might Eat dining room, which is open for breakfast and lunch all weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ericandblueboy Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 How does a restaurant stay open? Do the staff all live within walking distance? Do they crash at the restaurant? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveO Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 How does a restaurant stay open? Do the staff all live within walking distance? Do they crash at the restaurant? My guess discounted hotel rooms and possibly trade w/ the hotels. Btw north Arlington has a lot of restaurants open... All near hi rise residential areas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 How does a restaurant stay open? Do the staff all live within walking distance? Do they crash at the restaurant? In the case of Maketto, the pastry chef the Post mentioned spent last night with Erik Bruner-Yang and his family, a few blocks from the restaurant. Sometimes, people get put up in hotels. One place I know of that's open, some employees live a short walking distance away and others have places to crash near the restaurant. Neighborhood restaurants that draw their staff from the neighborhood have an advantage here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simul Parikh Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Walked from north old town to Del Ray tonight Lenas was open, as was the 7-11. Kaizen was open for drinks. Evening Star/Majestic was closed, which was shocking. I think DRP was open at some point but I am not sure now. What a weekend! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveO Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 The Washington City Paper and the Washington Post had articles about how certain restaurant and other workers are getting to work. Chatted with a staffer at Fireworks/Arlington/Courthouse. They were open during the entire snow mess. Fireworks had employees at near and adjacent hotels plus employees made arrangements with friends nearby. She said that Four Courts and Ragtime in Courthouse did the same, and I know Rhodeside in Roslyn was open and is owned by the same group that owns Ragtime so they must have done the same. She also referenced 3 places in Ballston that all housed staff in a Ballston hotel. All these staffers have worked with one another at one place or another so they know what is going on at different bars and restaurants in the area. BTW: Per her comments Fireworks was very busy on Saturday. Hey if you are stuck in your place during a snow storm, stomp thru the snow to visit your neighborhood hangout. They'll help you feel comfortable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
