Westfield COVID-19 Community Update
To help everyone in these crazy times, our team wanted to compile a list of Westfield, NJ restaurants, stores, etc that have adapted to continue supporting us during quarantine. We are trying to cover as many of our local towns as possible, and if we missed anything that we should add to our list - please let us know! Also, please note that Governor Murphy has issued a statewide Stay-at-Home Order on March 21 with a curfew of 8:00pm.

If you are sick ask for “no contact delivery” where you pay ahead and food is left for you on your doorstep,
Don’t visit a restaurant if you’re sick or have been recently exposed,
Please be patient if restaurants have fewer employees working,
Consider tipping more, business is down and it will be greatly appreciated.
