MAINE, USA Two weeks from now, in a non-pandemic year, many people would be at parties and celebrations ready to welcome 2021, but that is not our reality right now.
Among what looks different? Going out to eat, and typically on New Year s Eve, a lot of us do that.
This year, many restaurants are having to change how they help us celebrate New Year s Eve. Many celebrations will actually take place before midnight this year due to Maine s 9 p.m. required closing time for restaurants.
