Ridgewood NJ, The Daily Treat had to close their doors because there were not enough “pick-up” orders to make ends meet. All the wait staff, the kitchen staff, out of work for now. This is one of a million sad stories. If we all stay in quarantine, and we all follow the rules, hopefully all our local businesses can be back soon. Meanwhile if you feel so inclined, the DT has an email address and you can write to John to wish him the best during this difficult time. A kind word can go a long way. [email protected]
