Under the current regional stay-at-home order, restaurants are only allowed to be open for takeout or delivery but some downtown San Luis Obispo restaurants are allowing customers to take advantage of the parklets installed by the city.
Although customers aren t allowed to dine inside, parklets give people an opportunity to grab their takeout order and sit down to eat, which is something restaurants around downtown San Luis Obispo say is a big help. It s a huge motivator for people. With Eureka! and what we do, it s not just food, itâs an experience and just being able to allow people to be out here in the open during times like this is a huge help for us, said Micah Park, Eureka! General Manager.
