Eat Street, NYC

The #OpenStreets on Spring Street means that St. Tropez (black walls) has enlarged their deck to take up a chunk of the car land. People are making good use of the space, besides just eating: walking, biking, stroller parking.  

  I don't understand the purpose of these screens between tables. They're grates, not solid, so doesn't that defeat the Covid-related reason for having dividers between diners?  

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