Haddonfield Restaurants Welcome Return Of Indoor Dining

HADDONFIELD, NJ — Restaurants across Haddonfield are gearing up for the return of indoor dining on Friday. Earlier this week, Gov. Phil Murphy announced that indoor dining can resume at 25 percent capacity and with social distancing between tables at 6 a.m. Friday.

“We have been patiently awaiting the re-opening of indoor dining services, and that day has finally arrived,” Partnership for Haddonfield Retail Recruiter Remi Fortunato said. “We are thrilled by this news, and look forward to welcoming visitors indoors to experience our one-of-a-kind dining scene with both indoor and outdoor seating options.”

Customers will have to wear face coverings when they are not eating and follow social distancing and health guidelines set forth by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to help stop the spread of the coronavirus.

Restaurants were permitted to remain open for takeout and delivery when non-essential businesses were shut down to stop the spread of the coronavirus pandemic in March. In June, restaurants were allowed to reopen for outdoor dining only.

Outdoor seating will continue at many of Downtown Haddonfield’s restaurants, which include fine restaurants, quaint coffee shops, and sweet ice cream shops. Curbside pickup and delivery will also remain available.

Haddonfield dining options include a mix of Italian, Asian, Mediterranean, Indian, hoagies, pizza, organic juice drinks, yogurt and shops that gourmet cupcakes and specialty olive oils to food items from France and the British Isles.

Downtown Haddonfield has continually been promoting ways for everyone to shop and dine safely, via their ‘Haddonfield Cares’ campaign, which focuses on the importance of wearing masks while in the Downtown, practicing social distancing, and frequent hand sanitizing.

The Partnership for Haddonfield (PfH), the management corporation for Haddonfield’s business improvement district, thanks all who have shown support to the businesses by shopping in-store and online, buying gift certificates, taking part in virtual experience classes, or choosing outdoor dining and/or take-out or delivery from our food and beverage establishments.
