Sidewalk Cafes

They're nice if they're on a nice esplanade or a nice street like the Champs Elysees, but for the life of me I can't see the attraction of sitting on a narrow, downhill tilted, grimy littered footpath on a heavy traffic road, right next to a pedestrian crossing. Gulping carbon monoxide along with your latte or cappuccino.

 

Sheesh. Get outta here.

I love outdoor eating and coffee places, nothing is nicer. Stuck indoors with air con is unpleasant. We have recently lost my favourite cafe in town,  the council wants to start charging thousands for little cafes to have chairs and tables outdoors, even though having some outdoor activity has proved to deter  street crime. Can't help thinking its got something to do with a huge, horrid shopping centre with the obligatory "food hall" being built nearby.

I love them too boris

 

There are several hundred choices in walking distance to my home and coffee shops are proving to be a growth business to get into.

In Sydney and environs, didn't outdoor eating areas originally come about due to smokers being banished outdoors?  Smokers would not complain about the traffic pollution.

Boris, you would love our local outdoor cafe, it is right on the ocean beachfront just steps from the sand and the only thing that you can see are waves, sand and more waves.   It is a full service coffee shop but only accepts cash which causes a few probs for the tourists. It is at Sawtell, md north coast NSW
