Pesce Pasta, Bleecker St.
Deck built into multiple parking spots. Nice use of shrubs to improve the aesthetics and block views of cars. Good shade covering. Points for restaurant branding, but the red is a bit of a visual assault. (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.
