Ready to say goodbye to summer? Neither are we, but Labor Day is here and this holiday gives us the perfect excuse to go out with family and friends and enjoy a great meal.

Labor Day typically marks the end of summer and the beginning of a new school year, but the reason we celebrate this holiday is actually pretty cool.

Following the beginning of the organized labor movement, unions in New York City organized a parade and took an unpaid day off to celebrate in September 1882. The movement spread throughout the country, and within five years other states also declared Labor Day an official holiday.

Looking to celebrate September 2nd with a meal but not sure which restaurants are open? We’ve rounded up plenty of options to help you get your Labor Day festivities started.
