The message you don't want to see on the entrance door of your little family-run, eccentric neighborhood Italian restaurant. Not even under pandemic coronavirus siege.

Roald & Umberto pizzeria in Oslo: See you later... or in paradise...
I hope they didn't use the flying boat when they left.

Other restaurants and bars are shut down, too. On Saturday, March 21st, Oslo banned in addition the serving of alcoholic drinks in order to reinforce social distancing rules with a prohibition.

Will the bars - anchors and meeting places of the citizens - survive this crisis?

A hard blow for microbrewing - Siste Sang's last song was called for.

One of Oslo's oldest microbreweries in shutdown - the Crow Bar.

"See you again on the other side," they write.

Another Grünerløkka classic may not survive the crisis: MIR - Grünerløkka lufthavn lost their locality for two years due to a renovation project, finding temporary refuge in the cafeteria of a now off-limits elderly care home. Game over?

Small restaurants too little for social distancing are only allowed to sell take-away. "Max 4 customers inside", says the handwritten note on the entrance door of Miss Gin.
