The prohibition on indoor dining in NYC during the Covid-19 pandemic has changed the cityscape dramatically. This is a photoblog of outdoor dining design.

It's aesthetically pleasing when a restaurant uses their indoor furniture (though undoubtedly a pain to have to bring it back inside overnight). Bonus points for matching the barrier wall with the furniture.
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.
Beach balls as decoration. Did they have the idea independently? (FWIW, Bayard Ale House, on top, had them before I saw them at Jones, on bottom.) Also, do people steal them, or do drunk diners think it's funny to throw them into the street?
