"A popular Main Street restaurant in a Vermont tourist town, it reopened outdoor dining in May and initially saw strong local support, but traffic shifted toward tourists as travel resumed; locals now tend to choose the small 10-seat patio over the indoor dining room, even though the restaurant has limited indoor capacity to 40 percent. The owner is concerned that out-of-state visitors do not always observe the state’s 14-day quarantine, and losing outdoor seating as temperatures drop will squeeze revenue while forcing difficult trade-offs between serving tourists and protecting the local community." - Nick Mancall-Bitel
