A look at 3 new East Village sidewalk cafes
Just noting three restaurants that have recently unveiled their new sidewalk cafes… (there are others — these just seemed more prominent) …

I just can't understand why anyone wants to eat on a sidewalk.
The sidewalks are filthy. I'm starving now!
You can't understand why someone would want to eat outside on a beautiful spring / summer day?
Houston and Avenue A must be a shitty corner on which to eat outside. Very loud, lots of trucks, construction in the road, etc.
Very nice. I'm all for sidewalk cafes....
However, sidewalks should be widened downtown.
Sidewalks should be cleaned, and gum laws enforced.

There are two kinds of people in the city, those who will dine on a sidewalk any chance they get, and those who think the whole idea is vile. I am of the latter. Sidewalk cafe on a quiet Paris sidestreet sure, why not. 2nd Avenue, 3rd Avenue in Manhattan, hell no.
Sidewalk dining is for tourists and people who enjoy sucking bus fumes/being panhandled while eating. Oh, and also for people who are dating their dogs.
"for people who are dating their dogs."
That's a keeper. Thanks, Adam.
I have NEVER seen anyone I'd recognize from the neighborhood dining 'al fresco' on 2nd Avenue. That includes Dahlia's, Virage and the Italian joint across the street, whose name escapes me at the moment. Why would anyone want to eat surrounded by noise, pollution and pesky panhandlers?
I love eating outside- I just don't like eating on NYC sidewalks, with traffic (and fumes) feet away, lots of noise, and passers-by gawking at the 45,000 calories I'm about to consume. Give me a booth in the back, please!
Have never understood why anyone who is not homeless would dine on a loud filthy dangerous NYC avenue. I guess the same folks picnic on the meridian of the BeltParkway.
The amount of space that Boulton & Watt has taken up on A and 1st st is crazy. Such a busy crowded narrow sidewalk. And now we need to make space for douchey dudes and those who date them, eating their artisan pickles.
People who dine on the sidewalks in the East Village are also the ones who ride a Citi Bike and take the Hampton Jitney.
