In an effort to share information with our readers and let residents know what takeout and delivery options are out there for local restaurants fighting to hang on, Community Impact Newspaper started an interactive map with information on locally owned spots throughout the area. While we can never provide a comprehensive list of every restaurant in Central Austin, this will be a living document that is updated regularly. Readers and business owners who would like to share updates with our editorial team can reach out to us by emailing ctanews@communityimpact.com
