Here on the Bowery at Second Street... Not quite the tropical paradise of the DBGB sidewalk cafe, but the tables just went up...
Peels is now the seventh eating-drinking establishment with sidewalk seating on the Bowery between Third Street and Houston... joining Gemma, DBGB, Agozar, Think Coffee, Double Crown and SlĂ inte.
That's an awful lot of sidewalk they are claiming there. How long before the planters go up to solidify their ownship of 2/3's of the cement? It's the same with Gemma and Polina's. I don't mind them having outdoor tables, but please, can we just have some room to get by?! I really wanna like these tourist traps (at least I know where to avoid the tourists), but they are really making it difficult.
ReplyDeletePS. I just came back from the LPC meeting, and Bowery has a brand new landmark: the federal-style house at 135 Bowery is now offically designated. yippee!
Sitting in sidewalk cafes would be far more appealing if the sidewalks were clean. Why is it too much effort for citizens to dispose of gum in a trash can?
