Tips for Dining at Restaurants

• Visit restaurants’ website, social media pages, or call ahead for most up to date information. Many restaurants are now re-opened for dining, but still running at limited hours and capacity.
• Understand and follow restaurant guidelines. Restaurants may ask you to wear a mask or only dine in certain areas. While you won’t be wearing a mask while you eat, it is recommended when interacting with your server or using a public restroom.
• Because restaurants may be operating at a limited capacity, there may be a wait time. To avoid this, call ahead or avoid dining during peak meal hours.
• Practice social distancing from other parties beside your own as much as possible. Dine on the patio if it is available.
• Come prepared! Bring your own mask, wipes, and hand sanitizer. If possible, read the menu on your phone or ahead of time to lessen the surfaces you come in contact with.

Tips for Visiting Attractions

• Note that as businesses are opening up they may still be running by appointment only, or at limited hours and capacity. Whether it’s a museum, retail store or any other attraction, it’s best to visit the businesses’ social media pages and website for the most up to date information.
