Takeout for Two
By Annelise Kelly
February is the month for lovers. St. Valentine’s Day is traditionally a day for exchanging declarations of admiration, devotion and love. It’s also the ultimate day for a romantic dinner à deux in a fancy restaurant. However, that’s not in the cards for 2021. State safety guidelines to restrict the spread of COVID-19 are limiting whether restaurants may serve indoors or out, and many people choose not to dine out until the situation improves.
However, your Valentine’s feast need not be a DIY affair. Restaurants throughout the state are offering takeout, so why not let them take care of the cooking? Take some of that money you’ve saved by postponing dinners, drinks, concerts and Mexican vacations over the last 10 months, and enjoy the ultimate takeout dinner at one of the many fine dining restaurants highly qualified to prepare a meal you’ll remember.
