(Jun 5, 2020) Outdoor dining was able to re-open in the North Country yesterday, subject to safety rules, like spacing tables six feet apart. But the news only came Wednesday night, and businesses have been scrambling to get set up.

Aleka's Restaurant, owned and operated by Peter Kritziotis, opened it's street-side dining on Thursday night. Aleka’s initially closed down in March. They received a PPP grant, which Peter says allowed him to re-hire his staff back - they’ve been open for takeout for the past two months.
