A number of New Year’s Eve parties are being voluntarily canceled in Alexandria, and some businesses scaling back their services. All of this, of course, is in response to a dramatic jump in COVID-19 infections over the last month.
According to the Del Ray Business Association, the following businesses have stopped in-person service:
- Del Ray Pizzeria: Take-out only
- Elo’s Italian: Closed this week; carry-out New Year’s Eve menu for parties of two-to-four available for pre-order
- The Garden: Closed through Sunday, Jan. 2
- Stomping Ground: Take-out only
- Stracci Pizza: Take-out only with limited outdoor seating, weather permitting
- Swings Coffee Roasters: Take-out only

These businesses have canceled their New Year’s Eve parties:
- Barca Pier & Wine Bar
