Scout Magazine’s 2022 Holiday Guide, Mapped

The holidays are coming. In an effort to cut down on the stresses that can sneak into planning a gathering of friends, family or co-workers, we’ve compiled a quick rundown of which Scout Community Members are offering what this holiday season – from catering and take-out, to special dine-in menus and big buy-out options…

In case it doesn’t go without saying: by no means is this a comprehensive guide to every restaurant/business in our directory. We encourage you to treat this as a simple checklist, and reach out to the individual restaurants with your questions and for more in-depth details.
