Think of it as functional street art. Pratt Grad student Ali Pulver has created portable, temporary eating surfaces for those lunching at street carts. The tiny tables are by far the best options, but she's got plenty more ideas she's put into practice on her Pop Up Lunch blog. Where's the most unconventional space you've dined in the city?

Most unconventional place I've dined?
How about standing up with something easy like a sandwich, wrap, or salad.
Cute idea, I guess.
here's my idea: sit down at a table and eat like a civilized human being.
I actually tried one of these in the Village. She saw me eating my sandwich and asked if I would try one of the magnetic pole-tables. It was kind of cute; I'm glad she's getting some exposure for her work!
brilliant! these things are genius. she can make a lot of $.
just don't call it street art.
Yes, swallow your pride and admit it's design at best.
I hope she puts them in the subway cars so people can more easily eat their McDonalds. Who doesn't love the smell other people's food on the subway?
It's an interesting idea, but I have no desire to stand on the street and eat. In the photo, the roll looks dangerously close to that filthy pole.
Watch all the garbage pile up on these eyesores.
Brilliant. I love it. I hate it when you need to fill up on less than $5 and there is nowhere to sit or even set your meal down.
Hotstepper: Something tells me you have never been hard up for cash. And you think that makes you civilized. If that's not the case, what do YOU do when you either can't or do not choose to shell out enough money for a "civilized" meal in a restaurant? Or even a fast-food joint, for inferior food? Go hungry? Sad.
