Eat Street, NYC

  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?

A restaurant abutting a bike lane: this is the New York that liveable streets advocates want. Spacing of the tables is a little odd.

(Click to expand to see both pictures.) The attempt at providing shade by The Butcher's Daughter is...weird. Is this like a fabric pergola? Does do any good? Also, a border of plants along the top edge of the white deck would go a long way toward improving this space. (Hudson St, August 2, 2020) The Nolita location has the same awkward fabric pergola thing (+ awkwardly parked motorcycle). This location is a good example of how restaurants on the corner have a great advantage when it comes to maximizing the number of tables they have, since they can put diners on both streets.
