@imallears Hi and you pose an interesting topic. My wife and I have now pretty much not been inside a restaurant in over a year but mostly what we do now take out. We will usually order online or at a drive-up curbside situation, then either eat in our car or at a nice scenic spot to eat. Depending on the venue it may be right there outside, or drive to another location. But we have taken it home also. My guess would be going forward that drive up service and a nice outdoor seating areas will start being a lot more popular again. I remember one of my favorite eateries from my youth was called the redwood and they were like a car hop setup. You could drive up and someone would come to the car and get our order then they had these trays that hooked onto the car window. But they also had picnic tables along this treeline that was available and a pleasure to eat at also. Being from Massachusetts originally Cape Cod was famous for walk up eateries along the beaches. Then a blanket on the sand and watch the ocean waves. I can see those types of places coming back.
