Texas is reopening retail stores and restaurants on Friday despite rising coronavirus death tolls in the state. Texas Gov. Greg Abbott announced on Monday that he will enact a multi-stage reopening plan, with the initial wave beginning on May 1.
Under the new policy, Texans can patronize retail stores, malls, restaurants, libraries, museums, and movie theaters at 25% capacity. In rural counties with less than five confirmed cases of the coronavirus, these public establishments are permitted to operate at up to 50% capacity.
Although bars such as Alexander’s and JR’s will not be re-opening retail stores such as Skivvies will open on the block. There have also been restaurants that have closed down permanantly due to the Covid-19 outbreak.
Wolfgang Puck restaurant at Dallas’ Reunion Tower closed for good
According to a release, Five Sixty By Wolfgang Puck, the upscale Asian restaurant that sits atop Reunion Tower, is closing not just for the duration of the pandemic, but permanently.
A release says that, “with the closure of Reunion Tower due to the Covid-19 pandemic, it has been decided that Five Sixty restaurant will remain closed to undergo scheduled improvements. Given this extended closure, in combination with the unknown timeline due to the Coronavirus, Five Sixty by Wolfgang Puck will not reopen.”
Restaurants such as Cedar Springs Tap House, Tulum, JR’s Bar & Grill, and Pei Wei are entirely closed even to delivery and take-out but we have found others near the Gaybhorhood:
