The preferred way to dine these days
Is there a better time to enjoy dining al fresco? Yes, it keeps us safer than being indoors during the current pandemic. But COVID concerns aside, in September and October the temperatures slide back into a comfortable range, the skies deepen to a vivid autumn azure and the earliest of turning leaves develop a golden tinge. Marinas, like the one pictured here at Sequoyah Marina on Norris Lake, serve up stunning waterscapes to enjoy with your burgers, but lots of restaurants in Knoxville and surrounds also offer pleasing outdoor options. Here are some of our favorites. Email yours to info@cityviewmag.com and we’ll add them to the list online.
