Thank you to everyone for your words of support. Special thanks go out to everyone who showed up yesterday to support us and to check on how we all were doing - Jimmy Loco, Cas, Lori, Tavo, Mel, Rachel, Mickey, Chris, Kevin, Satellite Jerry, Mike, Beto, Pete & Gabi, Maggie, Yadira & Patrick, John, Chase, Roz, Rob, Tom, Etian, and anyone else who happens to have slipped my mind. I should also point at that all our employees were there to help whether they were working or not. So thank you to Jorge, Carlos, Lorena, Fanny, Balvina, Mirabel, Jonathan, Caroline, Ariel, Ariela, Idalmin, Yessinia, Adrianna, Mike, and Roger for all your help yesterday and for making our business what it is.
After a short period of general cleaning up the gathering evolved into a small impromptu party. There was nothing left to do at that time. The last people left about 9pm.
I expect that we will return better and stronger than before. It is quite clear that we will receive a great deal of help from our regulars in getting back on our feet. For example, Maggie's first words were, "I'm here to help." I have the sense that the connections among the family that has emerged around the Time Out Tavern will only strengthen and deepen as we get back up and running.
We will try to reopen to serve drinks as soon as we possibly can. Sometime this week we hope to begin doing delivery from the house old school Sandwich Guys style. We figure it will be at least six weeks before we are reopen full service. As usual, we will keep you up to date on what is going on.
As we found out yesterday, we never know exactly what the future holds so our evolution may take a completely different shape than what I have just outlined in the last paragraph.
Take care everybody.
