Baker and Co, Bleecker St.
A split-sidewalk design. The flowers in the planter match those in the treebed. The tables are separated by dividers to make diners feel safer. Not much shade on the street side of the sidewalk. (August 2, 2020)
The Evolution of Spicy Moon, W. 3rd St
More than any other restaurant that I pass regularly, Spicy Moon has been experiencing an ongoing evolution. Starting from the bottom: they decided on garish neon early on as a design choice. They soon expanded the pink tape with other neon colors. Then they added bright red plastic dividers, with color-changing rope lights. In its most recent incarnation, the neon tape has been replaced with street art that reflects its vegan mission (note that the animals have "Save Me" written on them). Spicy Moon's food is amazing, and I was thrilled when they moved next door. I have almost no desire to eat in this space, however.
