HISTORIC TRIANGLE — Great food plus the great outdoors? Sounds like a dream, right?
The Williamsburg Area Restaurant Association (WARA) has you covered.
In collaboration with Williamsburg, James City and York counties parks and recreation departments, WARA is rolling out a new initiative to get residents supporting their local businesses while also getting outside to enjoy the nice weather.
It’s a program called “Park and Dine” that launches this Thursday, April 22, just in time for Earth Day.
So how does it work?
“People can order from any participating restaurant, pick up their meal, then go to any park within the locality and dine. All they have to do is then share a photo and tell us about your meal on our Facebook page. We’ll issue a gift certificate after they submit their fifth photo,” said Debi Schaefer, executive director of WARA.
Similar to WARA’s Restaurant Week, gift certificates can be picked up at Alewerk’s L.A.B. Taproom at the Williamsburg Premium Outlets.
