Another place with live music. The amplification system here is kind of too loud, but still, props for partnering with musicians.
The tiny streets in the Financial District make it hard for restaurants to take up a lot of space, but Stone St is fairly wide. These barriers seem particularly visible and protective from passing cars.
Great idea to include artwork on the barrier. Maybe the city could partner with artists and restaurants to paint murals and paintings on the decks both to beautify the restaurants and to pay artists during a difficult time.
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.
