Apps! We Got Apps! And The Return To Gyms. Retail Therapy Weekend 8/21/2020

Hey Hey! So many things. Gyms are open! Your favorite yoga, pilates, fitness centers have been struggling, and Governor Cuomo has been reluctant to open. But an agreement has been reached, and Marilyn at A Little Beacon Blog has written all about it, so you can know what to expect. Meanwhile, if you go to a bar, and the bartender insists your order some kind of delicious app, even if it's on the house, this is why. Governor Cuomo clarified guidelines in July that require bars, restaurants, breweries and tap rooms to offer food to customers, in order to encourage people to sit down/still in one place and not mingle and shoulder rub, as is usually the case in a bar. Syracuse.com wrote a great article about it with lots of details. Scroll down for the rest of your Retail Therapy for the weekend in Beacon... PS: If you're visiting Beacon and forgot your mask (totally saw you today!), you can buy one in town! So many boutiques here carry them. Check A Little Beacon Blog's Shopping Guide for ideas.
