Howell Posts Restaurant Takeout, Deliveries In Coronavirus Limits

HOWELL, NJ — If the effort to stick to social distancing is leaving you yearning for bagels from King of Bagels or shrimp scampi from Woolley's Seafood Market, but you're not sure who's around, Howell Township has residents covered.

The township Office of Emergency Management compiled a list of restaurants, convenience stores and more in Howell, with information about who's offering delivery, who has takeout only and what hours they are open.

The list aims to help residents who are staying in to help limit the spread of the new coronavirus connect with restaurants that were forced to stop serving customers in their establishments, and help the restaurants as well, Howell Councilman John Bonevich said.
