It’s a new year, and our local businesses need our support more than ever. Several local restaurants are “hibernating” until spring, while others have built extensive heated setups, so check in before heading out to your favorite spots. January is always a hard time for restaurants, more this year than usual, so if you have the means, consider ordering in a little extra (and tipping generously). And don’t forget our non-restaurant local businesses for your hardware, pet food, reading needs, and more.
