Happy Cinco De Mayo from Comal!

May 6th, 2020

Yesterday, Comal celebrated its 8th anniversary (CND turned two back in April) in a decidedly different way than the last seven anniversaries. Normally this time of year, our crape myrtles are leafing out and our patio is buzzing with festive, springtime energy. Today, our crape myrtles are still leafing out, but our patio is eerily quiet as we celebrate Cinco de Mayo in a socially-distanced, contactless pickup kind of way.

The crape myrtles doing their springtime thing reminds us that we are playing the long game, and that this crazy chapter is not forever. Never have we appreciated what special places Comal and Comal Next Door are more than we do right now! We look forward to returning to “normal” days with DJ Jose spinning his amazing tunes on Thursday nights, people gathered around the fire pit, the sound of drinks being shaken at the bar… But until then, we are very much enjoying bringing food and drink to all of you via pickup and delivery.  We’re appreciating your support, and the many warm exchanges as you swing by to pick up your food.  It’s a different way of connecting, but it’s connecting, which is why we opened Comal and Comal Next Door in the first place.  Thanks for eight years of amazing memories and here’s to many more – we certainly won’t forget this Cinco de Mayo!

Thanks for your continued support!
