9 Athens Restaurants That Offer Safe Dine-In Alternatives
Updated: Sep 15, 2020
Going out to eat isn’t as simple or safe anymore. With the ongoing concerns of COVID-19 and rapidly increasing cases, the ability to just go out on a whim and eat at your favorite restaurant has been stripped away. Now, it takes looking up the updated hours, their safety measurements, seeing whether they still offer dine-in services or just take-out and ultimately whether those dine-in services offer outdoor seating. While the safest choice would be to enjoy a home-cooked meal, sometimes that’s not always feasible — especially for college students no longer on a meal plan. To cut down the search, here are a few, diverse Athens restaurants that offer outdoor seating, takeout and/or delivery.
