Want to lend a hand to local eateries during the coronavirus crisis? In addition to curbside pick-up and takeout orders, make the most of food-centric discounts, family specials, and free lunches for kids.
In a press conference on Monday, March 16, Governor Cuomo announced that restaurants in New York State must close on-premise services and move exclusively to curbside pick-up or delivery options in an effort to increase social distancing due to COVID-19. To cope, many local restaurants have announced special discounts and family meal programming to help the community and keep the Hudson Valley dining scene alive.
