By our observations, purchasing trends have prioritized toilet paper, bread, and booze. While we might not understand stockpiling enough TP to build a fort, we realize that you can’t show up to that Virtual Happy Hour empty handed!
Rather than venture into the supermarket, why not grab a growler of your favorite IPA or a lovely rosé curbside from a locally owned business? Scroll on down to see what Downtown businesses are offering to-go service (in no particular order).

“Rodney and his staff had the food out super quick. They have a great selection of beer and wine still available for purchase! I highly recommend getting lunch or dinner take out from Market at Main. You won’t regret it!!” - Anthony Krysiewicz, Happy Customer

Everyday Sommelier knows that not everyone is a wine expert.
