Al-fresco dining areas you can enjoy in the metro
In a time of pandemic, we all need human connection to keep going.
While staying connected to our loved ones can be made possible online, nothing beats seeing familiar faces and enjoying their company physically. After all, they are our support system—and simply being with them may be a good way to cope with the challenges that life may bring.
If you’re looking for al-fresco areas you can chill at this weekend, feel free to scroll down for some ideas. Make it a point, however, to wear a mask, practice social distancing, and clean your hands on a regular basis.
