Are You Eating Out At Restaurants Again Post Covid? (tomatoes, Indian, russian)

[NY Annie]

NO! I haven't eaten in a restaurant in over 16 months (pre-covid) as I was too ill. Both my husband and I had our 2nd vax a month ago and we just last week got a take-out order picked-up curbside for the first time this year.

I am immunocompromised and there are people still spreading this virus.

Yes. I have been eating in restaurants before they were closed a second time and then reopened. I've been eating outside at restaurants since we have been allowed to do so.

I have been taking public transit and commuting this entire time to work. So restaurants are not really of concern to me. I've been vaccinated for a few months already.

We are vaccinated and have been dining in restaurants for several months now. Before that, we went out to a few outside patio dining places.

We just got back from downtown Savannah today, which was crowded with tourists. We did not use masks outside, but only if we went inside of a business. The mood was very festive. We could feel that people were feeling relaxed and happy to participate again.

Friends came to visit for a week just days after we reached full vaccination, and we shopped and ate in restaurants for the first time in over a year.

If there's a choice, we eat outside, but it's mostly inside seating around here.

As soon as they reopened we started going. Had to spread some much needed money around

I help elderly mom (both vaccinations a few months ago) and disabled brother (we finally both got 2nd shot 3 days ago).

I know most probably won't be like us, but we ate out today (on the patio) for the first time in over a year! Felt great getting closer to normal...the Huevos Rancheros were tasty that I got, and the omelets mom and bro got looked great! Crazy year...tired of cooking...We will go back there for $25 lobster Wednesday next week!

Yep, been doing so since July and I did get myself Vaccinated, I was never afraid of catching COVID because I did everything I could to prevent myself from having it, I still go out to restaurants on a regular basis.

I ate out at a restaurant about a month ago for the first time since the shut down. I wasn’t vaccinated at the time, but I am now.

If I were commuting for work, I’d probably be eating out more. Stopping for drinks after work was my thing .

I’m traveling this summer and am planning on eating out.

We are vaccinated, but taking things slow - no rush to eat out yet. We will wait until this is over.

Been enjoying takeout and delivery meals from local restaurants though.

We are both vaccinated and ate out for the first time last weekend. Lunch was on the veranda of our favorite bistro. Marinated tuna wrap/gazpacho for DH and Baja shrimp wrap/mushroom soup for me. They make their own soups and the food is so fresh and delicious. After eating there in the past, I look up recipes for what we’ve eaten there and put them into our rotation. My favorite is a Bollywood Curry Tuna salad that I make almost weekly in a wrap or as a panini.

There were half the tables out as pre-Covid and the snowbirds have eased up. Even before the pandemic, we always chose outside dining when ever possible. It was time and we throughly enjoyed eating something not made by one of us.

Been eating out for past two months. Usually try to go for an early dinner around 3:00. Have had both vaccines for over a month now.
