I can’t believe some of you enjoy eating in rat shit sheds. Just because the employee swept away the rat shit doesn’t mean you’re not sitting in a bacteria ball pit. It’s ironic really.

Sidewalk seating is enough. If a restaurant can’t maintain without a shed they probably aren’t a one that will last anyways.

Are you like not familiar with the concept of eating outside or something? How sterile do you think picnic tables are?

I don’t eat outside at places but if it’s an option I’d prefer just sidewalk seating for those who want that option

The most parklet heavy areas are dining-heavy areas where sidewalk dining isn't an option. The sidewalks on mulberry for instance are already too small.

They really should remove the parking (or close the street entirely) and extend the sidewalk. Piecemeal parking space removal is a compromise.

Yeah but when I go for a picnic, I bring a plastic table cloth and disinfect. Can't do that at a restaurant.
