What does the future of “outdoor” winter dining look like? It's a problem that calls for radical solutions

An aerial view of Cafe Luxembourg’s outdoor seating in New York. Photo: Alexi Rosenfeld/Getty Images There is very little that is certain about the future, but there is one thing we know is true: Soon, it will be winter. In New York City, it will be cold. Many of the options that have helped keep restaurants above water through the summer will be off the table. The city’s expanded outdoor-dining program is still set to expire on October 31.

Clearly, the problem calls for radical solutions. New York City does not, at present, seem to have any, but our friendly neighbors in the Midwest seem to be working on it. Chicago has partnered with IDEO, a global design firm to solicit proposals from the public for what safe winter dining could maybe look like.

It is not all pods, though. Restaurants could repurpose old city buses, for example. What if parking structures were turned into multilevel food courts? Has anyone yet considered heated, glowing chairs?

In Global Covid-19 Vaccine Race, Chinese Shot Receives First Foreign ApprovalThe United Arab Emirates has become the first country outside China to approve emergency usage of a Chinese Covid-19 vaccine candidate, in a vote of confidence for a state-backed drugmaker racing global rivals to stop the spread of the coronavirus. Lol. They also approve of using a minority group to harvest organs and sell in the medical market. Consider the source. Gheeze WSJ. China is putting an all-out effort in the race of COVID-19 vaccine.

Climate clash hits 2020 race as California burnsToday, Donald Trump and Joe Biden offered a striking split screen on the role of climate change in raging wildfires on the West Coast, with each staking out dramatically different positions on what has caused the blazes What’s one to beleive? The mountains of data compiled over decades by foremost experts that say climate change, or that it’s exploding trees? One listens to subject matter experts, the other listens to no one but himself. Do you mean an insane “It’s not me so I don’t care” position by trump or the “let’s get this under control for the benefit of everyone” position for Biden?
