26 Restaurants Trying To Pass Off Indoor Dining As “Outdoor” Dining

The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has left the restaurant industry starving, as a large number of businesses have been forced to close. Many of the closures are permanent, which leaves the remaining in operation desperate to stay open.

Outdoor dining was a great way to stay open during the summer months but as it’s gotten colder, it’s become tougher to adapt. Many places have put up heated tents and others have gone as far as building actual structures suitable for dining in freezing temperatures. People are sharing pics of some of the ways restaurants are offering outdoor seating and a lot of them look more like indoor dining.

Do what you can to support your local restaurants. This may be the only time in history you can order takeout guilt-free.
