During this time a lot of businesses are struggling, lines for grocery stores cause long wait times. Let’s support some local bussineses. These businesses still have the resources to get things such as toilet paper, eggs, bacon etc. You can order straight from their site and go pick it up. Many restarants are providing free delivery.

I’ve gone by Salt and Time several times over Covid, both to go grocery shopping and to pick up food to go. I’ve been nervous to go to HEB because of the crowds and lines, but at Salt and Time I’ve always felt very comfortable and safe. They have a fantastic selection of fresh produce and great wine, in addition to their butcher’s counter. Would highly recommend!

HEB is doing curb side! Can save abit of the hassle and you stay safely in your car.

You should add zones to the places, so people can find their closest pickups. Also, Panera added some small groceries to their lineup you can supposedly get via drive-thru. I wouldn’t be surprised if other places didn’t start doing the same.

on it!

Anyone looking for traditional English pub food (and some of the best tikka masala youve ever had) should check out Nosh and Beevy on Burnet. I know they are doing takeout right now. I’m really worried that they’re not going to make it out of this mess…

For Pflugerville, you can add Broth & Basil. Their pho is pho-nomenal haha
