During this time, Colorado Springs-area restaurants have found creative ways to continue to safely serve delicious food to the community. Celebrate takeout Thursday by supporting one of the numerous local eateries that will be grateful to serve you.
Some restaurants mark the floor to designate where to stand while waiting for food, allowing customers to adhere to social distancing requirements.
