HOUSTON – National Picnic Day is April 23, and Houston restaurants want to help their communities celebrate. More than 20 establishments have partnered with Public Content on the #StayAtHomePicnic campaign, offering special promotions in the spirit of the holiday.
With stay-home orders still in effect, these local restaurants are providing delivery, takeout and curbside pickup options to accommodate safety guidelines. The goal of this initiative is to help Houstonians stave off cabin fever by enjoying a delicious meal al fresco and socializing safely. People are encouraged to picnic in their backyard or front porch while following social-distancing guidelines.
