The Grassroots Relief for Main Streets is an expansion of the District Impact Study published by the Central Square Business Improvement District (BID), which also includes data from East Cambridge and Union Square. The surveys work to assess the damages done to the neighborhood businesses by the outbreak of COVID-19 and to push the state to consider a set of recommended relief measures for small businesses.

Remnant Brewing is trying to activate a new distribution model. Since the Somerville brewery’s taproom can no longer be open to the public—an effect of the novel coronavirus outbreak—management is moving to sell more packaged beer, which customers can pick up at the Bow Market location. Much of Remnant’s sales now come from their production of crowlers, 32-ounce cans that are hand filled from the tap on site, says general manager Brittany Lajoie. Crowler sales have been up, with an average of 100 sold every day, in contrast to the pre-coronavirus rate of 100 sold per week. Yet losing taproom customers has resulted in an enormous overall decrease in income, says Lajoie, with traffic being “way down from normal.” Link in bio. 📸: @sashapdro

According to Union Square Main Streets executive director Jessica Eshleman’s notes, the idea first went out from the Somerville Chamber of Commerce’s Dining & Nightlife Group last Tuesday: A joint effort to create a web page linking to all of the city’s restaurants that were offering delivery and take-out during the COVID-19 pandemic. By March 21, Somerville Delivers was rolled out, and as of Tuesday it had nearly 80 restaurants listed. Link in bio. 📸: Leigh Savary

Inspired by Needham-based photographer Cara Soulia, Scout Somerville staff photographer Adrianne Mathiowetz asked to bring the “Front Steps Project” to Somerville and Cambridge in an effort to raise funds for Scout Magazines. Two other photographers, Amanda Macchia and Scout Cambridge staff photographer Sasha Pedro, graciously hopped on immediately.

J.J. Gonson is trying to ramp back up the Cuisine en Locale side of the business now that ONCE Somerville has shut its doors, and since it’s a meal delivery program, it actually answers a need among Somerville residents. But even though she’s been doing that for 15 years, ONCE had been commanding the larger portion of her time and attention. So, Gonson has to figure out how to scale up from the few meals a day she has been providing for customers. Link in bio. 📸: Jess Benjamin

The Cambridge Public Health Department (CPHD) released a list of specific guidelines that restaurants and food service workers should follow on March 24—the same day that nonessential businesses were ordered to close by Gov. Charlie Baker. Restaurants are still allowed to offer delivery and take-out services under this order, as long as they follow proper social distancing protocols. The CPHD broke down exactly what these protocols are, and it’s a little more involved than the general “wash your hands” and “don’t come to work if you’re sick” advice that’s been circulating.
