The good news is that we have just entered the second part of Phase 2 of the governor’s plan for re-opening Massachusetts. The most significant change in this new section is that restaurants will be able to have inside dining, with strict social distancing protocols (separation of tables, no parties of more than 6 people, masks when not seated, etc).
Restaurants on Nantucket have had to be very flexible during the past 3+ months and this news is coming at a critical time for those who are trying to make it this short summer season. We encourage everyone to patronize local restaurants on-island at whatever level feels comfortable – take-out, dining in or through the purchase of gift cards which can be used at any time.
