---- WELCOME ---Welcome to the latest issue of the Best of NWA Top 10.

The world, as we know it, has changed dramatically since our last issue. We’re in the middle of a worldwide pandemic complete with toilet paper and meat shortages, quarantines, social distancing, masks, closed businesses and more than 135,000 Covid 19 deaths in the United States alone. We’ve also seen social unrest including protesting and rioting in various parts of the country.

As of this writing, masks are required by city ordinance in Fayetteville, Tontitown and Rogers. NOTE: This is a very fluid situation, and while we have done our best to be accurate, please DO call ahead to see if businesses and restaurants are still open and such before you go.

The state of Arkansas is in phase 2 of re-opening.

This means, for restaurants, dining is limited to 2/3 of capacity. Some are offering limited menus, while others still have full menus. Many restaurants have opened their patios to increase space. In addition, most restaurants have found additional ways to serve their customers via curbside delivery, carryout, drivethru and home delivery.
