sidewalk seating
Outdoor dining area
Sidewalk seating is outdoor dining arranged on the pavement in front of a restaurant or café.
Tables and chairs spill onto the sidewalk, letting patrons eat and drink while watching street life pass by.
Common in European cities for centuries, sidewalk seating expanded dramatically in American cities during the COVID-19 pandemic when indoor dining was restricted: The new bistro has sidewalk seating when the weather's nice.
