It's a waste of energy, and it defeats the purpose of being outside-- if you can't take the cold, that's what inside is for, buddy!</p> http://www.gothamist.com/2006/05/02/longer_sidewalk.php#comment-123518 http://www.gothamist.com/2006/05/02/longer_sidewalk.php#comment-123518 Comments Tue, 02 May 2006 11:13:42 -0500 <p>Havermeyer street and South 2nd in Williamsburg is perhaps the best spot because you can stare at hipsters spending their parents money while you eat organic mush.</p> http://www.gothamist.com/2006/05/02/longer_sidewalk.php#comment-123512 http://www.gothamist.com/2006/05/02/longer_sidewalk.php#comment-123512 Comments Tue, 02 May 2006 11:00:49 -0500 <p>I love restaurants, and I love being outside, but for my money, New York is a terrible sidewalk cafe town. Mountains of garbage, traffic noise, exhaust and homeless people make a it pain for the diner, and narrow sidewalks, self-important waiters pushing through, noise and crowds waiting to get in make it a misery for pedestrians and neighbors. Sorry, Jen.</p> http://www.gothamist.com/2006/05/02/longer_sidewalk.php#comment-123511 http://www.gothamist.com/2006/05/02/longer_sidewalk.php#comment-123511 Comments Tue, 02 May 2006 10:59:57 -0500 <p>Hm... Not a fan of the sidewalk dining. I guess because I like to WALK and when a restaurant appropriates my walking space, well, not a happy camper... Add to that, I never could quite see the charm in stuff floating into my food and passersby passing inches away from my plate, etc. etc. Not a fan...</p>
