The T's shutting down at 2 PM and a state of emergency has been declared, but a number of restaurants, trucks, and bars are planning to stay open, at least for part of the day, despite Sandy's impending visit. We'll compile a list of confirmed openings and closures here so that you know where you can (and can't) get your food and drink on, should you choose to venture out. Keep checking back here for updates.
Restaurant, food truck, and bar owners: Let us (and the world) know you're open by adding #OpenInBOS to your tweets today. If you're a restaurant owner and don't have Twitter, please shoot us a message on the tipline and we'll add you to the list.
