sidewalk cafes
Curbside dining spots
Sidewalk cafes are outdoor seating areas for restaurants or coffee shops, typically arranged on the pavement in front of the establishment.
Tables and chairs spill onto the sidewalk, often bordered by planters or low barriers.
The term evokes European urban culture—particularly Parisian cafes—where patrons sit outside to eat, drink, and watch passersby: We spent the afternoon at a sidewalk cafe in the Village.
