In a few days, we bid adieu to 2020 and hello to 2021. This year has been a challenging one to say the least, and although we still aren’t in the clear yet from the pandemic, there is a light at the end of the tunnel and a sense of relief that this year is finally over with. Due to COVID restrictions, there are obviously no big shindigs on this list, which in previous years used to be incredibly robust. There are a few local spots offering pre-NYE dinner and carry out. Almost all of your favorite restaurants will be open for dine-in and takeout. I think this is a great opportunity to support your local small business whether you dine in or order your fav food to your home.
