A couple of places on Huntington Ave near Symphony are doing this, including the Starbucks as of tomorrow-don't know if this is a corporate-wide policy yet.

I was in a local Panera for pickup on Saturday - don't know if the goalposts shifted again since then, but they had both takeout & eat-in and had an modified system in place that seemed sensible.
Only the coffee carafes and napkin dispensers remained on the customer side of the counters. Everything else that is normally customer-side and subject to some clumsy and dirty customer hands - cups, lids, straws, condiments, plastic utensils, teabags, etc... - was behind the counter, employees filled bags that way.

Milk, etc was poured into coffee by baristas on request, no self-serve.

On Friday, Milk Street Cafe

On Friday, Milk Street Cafe announced they would temporarily be closing at the end of business that day. Also, I noticed from a distance Cafe de Boston was closed with a notice on the door. Didn't get close enough to read the notice, but assume it has to do with the subject at hand.

Flat Top Johnny’s also

Announced it was closing today, reopening as soon as possible.

Passim may stream scheduled performances

We are working with the musicians affected by this decision to host their performances online instead so they can continue to generate income while we are closed.

They are encouraging patrons who have already purchased tickets to consider donating the funds, though they will issue refunds on request. They are also looking at fundraising to support the music community, more info on their website.
