## Story

Leaving the comfort of one’s home - and couch - may not seem like the most likely plan of action on New Year’s Day, but for those who do venture out, they’ll be glad to know that several fast food and restaurant chains will be open that day, according to a Delish report.

Buffalo Wild Wings, Chili’s, Cracker Barrel, Denny’s, Krispy Kreme and Sonic are just a few chains that will be open to diners on New Year’s Day, according to the article.

Of course, diners will want to make sure to check the hours of operation for their local restaurant before heading over, as individual locations might shorten their hours as they see fit due to the holiday.
