Seen & Heard, Outdoor Dining Edition: Taking the bubble literally

BOYS IN THE BUBBLE
City Vineyard has two geodesic domes made out of what looks like transparent vinyl cued up for outdoor dining — and that has to be as clever a solution as you can get in these pandemic times. Pod-ready bubbles — what’s next??

UNDER COVER
Zona Tribeca is adding roofs to its sidewalk seating, with its curbside seating already doing a booming business.

MORE CURBSIDE CANVAS CRAWLS
The Curbside Canvas Project is hosting another art crawl of its participating restaurants on Saturday, Oct. 24, from 4 to 6p. There’s a pre-crawl meetup from 3 to 4p; everything starts at One Art Space at 23 Warren. There’s a 50-person max for the event. Register for free tix here.

CURBSIDE STYLE
Some details from the curbside setups at Macao and Belle Reve — both with their distinct flav.

  1. How much covering can be added before it becomes as closed in as the inside?

    • They’re required to be 50% open. Many of the things gs that are going up fail to meet that standard.

      • And if they enclose all four sides, they are required to follow indoor dining guidelines (i.e., currently 25% capacity).

        The hope is to raise indoor capacity to 50% early next month, which would also then apply to outdoor tents that are fully enclosed.
