I live in Houston and have started going to restaurants again but I have a strategy.
1. I only go to lunch after 1:30. I haven't gone to dinner but if I did it would be after 7pm.
2. I don't go to a particular restaurant if it seems busy
3. I wear my mask in.
4. I bring Clorox wipes and hand sanitizer
5. I make sure I sit at least 10-12 feet away from anyone. I sit outside if possible
6. I wipe my table and sanitize my hands
7. I hurry up and leave if it starts to get crowded.
8. I sanitize my hands when I leave.
I think this strategy is fairly safe. Plus, although I can't verify it (couldn't get tested) , I think I may have had a very mild case in March.

Can you imagine how cramped the kitchen is?

(9,263 posts)we will EVER go out into the public again as there is NO "do-over" if exposed. The new paradigm and we are unwilling to take the risk for ANY reason.

What if you go through all this, get a mediocre meal and two weeks later you have the virus?
Worth it?

(772 posts)said it felt creepy. Only one other table occupied, everything disposable, employees masked and at a distance. They tried, but say they won't be doing it again anytime soon.
Eating out is supposed to be relaxing and enjoyable. It's just depressing and scary now.
Frankly, I don't see us dining in any restaurant ever again. These new days, the most we do is get orders to go, drive to a park make a picnic out of it.
I'll surely miss it, but I'll manage.
