Seen & Heard: How is this going to work exactly?

June 27, 2020 Restaurant/Bar News

AL FRESCO JUST GOT FANCY
The neighborhood’s curbside dining options are getting more and more elaborate (The Odeon has trees! there are booths at Monk McGinn’s!) — and pretty comfortable too. (see below) But it should be interesting to see how the east-bound traffic on Chambers negotiates around the Mudville 9 seating arrangement, though perhaps it comes down in the daytime. (see above) (And doesn’t the M22 run down Chambers?) Take the cars off Chambers too! (kidding, not kidding)

MIRIAM SETTING UP FOR THE ALLEY
Miriam, the new branch of the Park Slope favorite, is setting up an outdoor cafe in the parking lot behind its West Broadway store. Great spot.

    Seems like a great opportunity to widen many sidewalks permanently, and even consider making more streets and areas pedestrian zones (perhaps with designated hours for delivery times).

    Many NYC sidewalks were once much wider, and were narrowed over the years. Maybe it’s time to reverse that trend.

    Wider sidewalks would also allow easier social distancing when walking. Right now many sidewalks are too narrow to allow passing another walker while keeping recommended distances.
