It seems dangerous to me that counties in the Bay Area are reopening on different schedules, encouraging people to travel significant distances, perhaps bringing the virus with them. On the other hand, so long as people sit outside, it should be relatively low risk.
First email I’ve gotten from a restaurant that’s reopening:

Thank you, actually staying in the building Belotti is in…Got their tagliatelle last night really good…stoked to try more
Try the Casoncelli.
Good for them. Glad they’re navigating through this
Tacos Oscar (a bit of a walk, but well worth it)
It’s surprising to me how many people are opening restaurants during this weird situation.
Sad I never got to Mama Papa Lithuania.
The problems with Instacart at a place like smart food service, which I have done 3 or 4 times is the quality of the shopper and the accuracy of the listings. I have had good experiences and very poor experiences.
Farmstead’s business model makes a lot more sense than Instacart’s.
