BATON ROUGE, La (BRPROUD) — Many are eagerly anticipating the lifting of the Stay At Home Order which will happen on Friday, May 15th.
This will move the state into Phase One of re-opening which allows non-essential businesses to re-open at 25% capacity.
The Downtown Development District released the following statement ahead of the lift:
Starting tomorrow, restaurants will be allowed to open their indoor dining rooms with limited capacity!
Many of our downtown restaurants are adapting to the loosening of the guidelines to provide more dining options. Please browse the list of downtown restaurants that are offering limited indoor dining, take-out, delivery and/or curbside service! We are updating this list daily.
We would like to encourage all downtown patrons to take advantage of this opportunity to utilize any outdoor dining spaces that the restaurants provide. The DDD has dining tables in North Boulevard Town Square and seating on the downtown Riverfront. Also, feel free to make a picnic at one of downtown’s many greenspaces! For assistance or questions, contact the DDD ddd@brla.gov
More information can be found on our COVID-19 Business and Community Resources webpage. We encourage you to continue utilizing the downtown parks and pathways, and support the restaurants that are still serving.
