2020 comes to an end on Thursday, and while no one gathers downtown or Navy Pier to get involved in the usual public celebrations, restaurants are still offering locals creative ways to celebrate at home through a wide variety of creative meals for travel and food packages. New Year’s Eve 2020 is a great day for restaurants that don’t have the usual lucrative private parties due to COVID-19.
