There can be many reasons you don't want to venture out these days: COVID-19, winter weather, slick streets.
BUT you can still support your favorite local restaurants.
As long as streets are safe to travel, then you can order food for curbside pickup or delivery.
If streets are impassable or the weather is daunting, you can:
- Purchase gift cards
- Leave a positive review
- Engage on social media
The thing to remember once the weather is good and restaurants are able to open again be patient. Icy road conditions delay the drivers delivering produce, proteins and pantry items to your favorite spot, so staff may be making do with less than they normally have on hand. Brace yourself for shortages of some menu items and longer-than-usual wait times when you go out to eat later this week, and — for goodness sake — be gracious.
