(Drivebycuriosity) - New York City is still fighting the Covid-19 pandemic. Restaurants, cafes & pubs are not permitted to offer indoor services, but the administration permits outdoor dining. The city closed some streets - or segments of them - for car traffic and reserves a lot of space for tables & seats, at least on weekends.
Those innkeepers who are fortunate enough to have access to enough outdoor space can replace a lot of their lost indoor business. The dives in my Lower East Side neighborhood seem to be booming, apparently fueled by the generous government checks.
In the recent months restaurant and pub owners have been busy and ingenious to use their outdoor capacities. Many created new outdoor facilities which changed the face of the city. Many streets look very different and remind me of South Europe. I collected a lot images in Manhattan neighborhoods the Lower East Side, East Village & Soho which I represent here.
Some used a lot of plants and created kinds of mini gardens.
I also like the colorful umbrellas. Looking on them raises my mood.
This one engaged some artwork.
Others displayed some patriotism.
Enjoy!
