Hi Ruth,

 

I hope you are well. I’m sorry you have not found the link for the open/business available. You can find the link here: https://publish.smartsheet.com/3fdd2cf2a1ea465f924d506ab20b42ea. It is on the Business COVID-19 page.

 

Many folks in the community have found the list helpful and it is one of the most popular sites on the city’s webpage.  We have included non-restaurants, too. We will continue to work on it.

 

Be well,

Pardis

Pardis,

Has the link below been updated? (and is Porter Square now a neighborhood?)

I just spent an excruciating hour trying to find it anywhere on Cambridge’s website, or in my emails,.

I know you (all of you there) are busy worrying about getting food to folks period, but I think our businesses could benefit by something as prominent as https://www.somervilledelivers.com/

Humbly asking,

Ruth

Nor does it include PSNA in the neighborhoods

Hello, neighbors,

 

Here is a list of restaurants/small businesses that are open in Somerville and Cambridge.

Dear neighbors

 

There is a citywide list from the City. No reference to neighborhood or sqaure or zipcode but a start.

 

https://publish.smartsheet.com/3fdd2cf2a1ea465f924d506ab20b42ea

 

It came out with the City's daily Covid 19 related email on Sunday March 22.

And PLEASE keep it updated.

We, out here, are staying home (as directed), but we need to eat and we want to support our small neighborhood businesses!
