Support Small, Dine Outdoors in Downtown San Mateo

Summer is great for packing picnics, eating light and mastering fresh ingredients from the local market. It’s also the perfect time to enjoy some al fresco dining and making the most of the ideal Peninsula weather we have in San Mateo. Don’t forget to support small! Many of our downtown San Mateo restaurants are offering NEW outdoor dining opportunities during this time and need our support now more than ever before. Small businesses add flavor to any city, but San Mateo has been lucky to have more than most – adding the character we love to our hometown. Scroll through the list below to view some of your favorite spots that carry special memories (find a web link to all at bottom) and pledge to support one a week this summer. We could all use the fresh air and a sense of normalcy. Make it a Date Night and tag us in your photos sharing your San Mateo support with a menu recommendation that we can share with your neighbors! @baymeadowslife #letsdothis #downtownSMdatenight2020
