As more people in the metro are getting inoculated each day and restrictions loosen, special occasions can now be celebrated safely and in a COVID-19-friendly way.
Still, celebrating virtually or with the people you live with is the safest choice. When gatherings and activities are celebrated with others, they must be held outdoors for safety.
While COVID-19 vaccines are effective at protecting you from getting sick as they significantly decrease risks of contracting the COVID-19, it is not a ticket back to — and unlikely that our lives will look exactly like — pre-pandemic days.
But don’t fret as it will most likely be safer for you to do in-person activities you have missed prior to the global public health issue.
One of this year’s not-to-be-missed events is Father’s Day, and to help you bond and spend some quality time with dad, Joy~Nostalg Hotel and Suites Manila has something for those who are stumped about what to get for him as the red-letter day comes near.
Should your foodie dad prefer to eat more than cook, treating him to mouthwatering flavors of juicy meats and tantalizing seafood may be the right gift idea, guaranteed to arrive in time.
The all-meat platter (P2,200 nett) has grilled pork belly, grilled chicken thigh, beef salpicao, grilled Italian sausage, grilled vegetables and potatoes. The all-seafood platter (P2,400 nett), on the other hand, has grilled salmon, grilled prawns, grilled squid, baked mahi-mahi, grilled vegetables and potatoes.
Each has a curated set of filling delights conveniently packed in a self-heating hot box, and will be available until June 30 at The Nostalgia Bar and Lounge.
As a special treat for a safe, worry-free celebration, orders confirmed and paid for from June 14 to 18 for delivery from June 19 to 20 will get a 20 percent discount and free delivery within a five-kilometer radius.
Meanwhile, the five-star, only pet-friendly deluxe serviced residence in the area is also offering its Suite Welcome staycation package for as low as P7,000 per night.
They can book for stays until August 31 and enjoy a welcome that comes complete with breakfast and food and beverage credits.
