NEW YORK: Outdoor spaces hastily fancified for low-risk dining are keeping thousands of US restaurants from closing permanently. But crashing the dinner party are tropical storms, rats — and the occasional out-of-control vehicle.
Eighty kilometres south of Manhattan in Red Bank, New Jersey, where fine restaurants thrive alongside Jon Bon Jovi’s pay-what-you-can community kitchen, servers offer meals amid downtown architectural gems. Behind the fortifications, it’s “making enough money to pay our bills,” co-owner Karen Schultz said in an interview.
Kowloon, a landmark 1,200-seat restaurant north of Boston, has made a hit of parking-lot movie nights just off six-lane Route 1. Rented barriers surround lawn chairs on artificial turf patches, where customers order Cantonese, Szechuan, Thai and Japanese cuisine and watch “Grease” and “Raiders of the Lost Ark” projected on a screen.
Open-air dining has employed at least 80,000 people, mayor Bill de Blasio said Monday, and officials are brainstorming an extension beyond Oct 31 and a return June 1. A day earlier in Park Slope, he said, he spotted “a beautiful New York City moment” of diners distancing and enjoying themselves. In the US, beholden to cheap gasoline and interstate highways that ushered in suburban life, the crashes point to an essential fault with car culture, according to Danny Harris, executive director of the New York City-based safe-streets group Transportation Alternatives.
