As the United States settles into Labor Day weekend, we hope you're finding ways to celebrateor, more crucially, to carve out something that resembles a "vacation" when travel and holiday options have become more limited. With that in mind, I polled my Ars colleagues with a vacation-minded question: How do you put the "happy" into "happy hour" in a socially distanced universe?
Unsurprisingly, many of the answers hinge on technology, though not all of them. If you've been struggling to socialize or break out of a 2020 rut, we hope our suggestions inspire you, though we'd also love to see your own suggestions in the comments section below.
