Take it to the backyard
Rather eat at home? Order takeout and take that picnic right outside on your front stoop, or back lawn! For an at-home outdoor dining feast, my family typically orders takeout from Allentown-Area's: Yocco's , Core Life Eatery, or Downtown Allentown Market.
If time is tight? A simple PBJ on the porch will do the trick just fine!
No matter how you do it, celebrate National Eat Outside Day this year! If you take part, make sure to tag Macaroni KID Kutztown-Allentown in social media posts so we can see how you celebrated!
Bon appétit!
