The Varsity, Manuel’s Tavern, The Colonnade, Majestic Diner, and Mary Mac’s Tea Room are some of the iconic restaurants that have closed their doors due to the COVID-19 outbreak. The Varsity donated its food to the City of Refuge to help feed the hungry and is working with its staff to help them financially during the closure. Meanwhile, The Colonnade has set up a GoFundMe account and is asking patrons to make donations to help their staff. Many other Intown restaurants have converted to takeout, curbside and delivery service.
