We are all advised to stay away from crowds and stay about 6 feet away from people if you can, I hope you are trying to do that. One small problem? We all want local non-chain restaurants to thrive in Dunwoody. Therefore, I highly recommend that you patronize your favorites for take out. Otherwise, they might not survive this crisis.
