Does the "neither rain nor sleet" cliché refer to restaurants? Many of the city's restaurants are working hard to remain open during Hurricane Sandy, but others have been forced to shutter today, particularly those with employees (not to mention customers) dependent on Metro, which is closed today. Eater will be updating this list throughout the day as restaurateurs share their status on Twitter, Facebook and through whatever method they can. Here's the early report, and stay safe, everyone.

UPDATE: Many restaurants are using the hashtag #OpenInDC to indicate their status. Here's the feed.
