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
In Old Town, the rising tide of new cases led to the cancelation of First Night Alexandria, the city’s New Year’s Eve celebration.
These businesses have canceled their New Year’s Eve parties:
- Barca Pier & Wine Bar
- Vola’s Dockside Grill and Hi-Tide Lounge
- The Torpedo Factory’s Olde Year’s Day celebration
