Babylon Village restaurants set virtual crawl for June 6

Nine eateries in downtown Babylon are participating in a virtual restaurant crawl on Saturday, June 6.

Event organizers say its a great way to patronize people’s favorite places in a safe manner during the pandemic.

“We’ve seen some other towns doing these virtual crawls and thought it would be a really fun idea to help out our restaurants and as a fun option for people on the weekends,” said Babylon Village chamber president, Kelly Pekcholdt. “If this first one is successful, we hope to continue them.”

Here’s how it works.

There are three food and drink packages to choose from listed as groups A, B, C, see them below.
