[Updated] You can now sit outside at Nicoletta



Not real cozy-looking just yet here on Second Avenue and East 10th Street. And is that police tape?

Updated:

A reader walked by around 7:45 tonight and noted two tables were occupied so far ...


They'll likely need to add some greenery to the space a la DBGB to make it look a little more inviting...

    "And is that police tape? " Velvet rope substitute. Where’s the MWIB clipboard Valkyries? Did they fly back to WI?

    I saw this new setup tonight as I walked by. It consumes a LOT of the sidewalk. Not sure how appealing it's going to be sitting out there. The next block is densely populated with bars, it's a Mardi Gras nightmare in this area most nights.

    @notorious: don't worry about losing sidewalk area, just walk through the cafe area. "Excuse me, sorry, oopsie!"

    it's probably still more appealing than the 5 napkin burger outdoor seating

    i don't understand sitting outside where there is heavy traffic and fumes, unless you want to take your dog with you when you eat out.
    or i guess if you want to be seen.

    I love the greenery outside DGBGCDBGCDG's! Dining in the gutter, shouting over constant horn honking, confusing consonants, they're ace!

    Eating on the Avenues isn't much fun no matter the restaurant. I prefer the cafes on the side streets, such as Sidewalk or Spina on B & 11th.

    I walked by here yesterday. The table look as if they are made out of grooved cement.

    I hate DBGB only because of their outdoor barriers -- they take up way too much of the sidewalk, and those of us walking by are left to bump into each other. it sux. Same for Pulinos!

    You have a complaint about a sidewalk cafe that is blocking the sidewalk, eh? Well, duckies ..

    There is a real problem with the outdoor cafes then "abandoning" their placards out into the public sidewalk. Its fucking bullshit. I guess if the Occupiers were involved a SWAT team would be on sight, but its ok for these carpetbaggers to block the sidewalks for their private business.

    Someone told me a crusty sprayed a bottle of urine on the people eating outside last night. Has anyone heard anything about this?
