OUTDOOR AND PATIO DINING IS OPEN DMV!! – PHASE 1

We have entered Phase 1 DMV! Many restaurants are reopening their patio and outdoor dining areas effective today! Although there are many mixed feelings on whether it’s too early to lift the restrictions or not, there are many DMV’ers who are pulling their hair out from being stuck inside. No matter what end of the spectrum you fall on, everyone must continue to practice social distancing and proper sanitation at all times. Here are a few restaurants that are opening their outdoor dining areas.

 

Graces Mandarin (National Harbor, MD)– On June 1st, 2020, this popular Asian-inspired restaurant will be reopening its patio seating for all of the DMV to enjoy.  Grace’s is the perfect place to release some of that “quarantine” stress since it overlooks the beautiful waters of National Harbor.
