Toro Loco, Stone St
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.
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.
