Labor Day falls on Monday, Sept. 2.

As the unofficial end to the summer season, Labor Day is a bittersweet occasion. On the one hand, many of us are excited for fall, but saying goodbye to the carefree sunny days of summer can feel a bit daunting.

Labor Day isn’t just a random holiday on the calendar. It first originated in the late 19th century as the organized labor movement gained momentum. After New York unions organized a parade in September 1882 and took an unpaid day off work to celebrate, many states started declaring Labor Day an official holiday within a few years.

To help us all ease into fall, many restaurants are celebrating Labor Day by launching fabulous deals. From freebies to serious discounts, you won’t want to miss out on these offers.
