Outdoor Dining On Ocean Drive

I was reading a book about the revitalization of South Beach and it said a big part of that revitalization was the widening of the sidewalks to accommodate the outdoor dining.  The Block Parties last summer were a testament to how great a scene it was when we allowed the restaurants this ability.

Cape Ann Coffee New Outdoor Cafe Seating Area

While stopping in for my sausage egg and cheese on croissant sandwich at Cape Ann Coffee, I noticed they are building a cool new outdoor seating area.  It’s a great idea.

I wish our downtown restaurants put in those cool fold away windows on the front of their buildings so we could have al fresco semi outdoor dining like they do on Newbury Street and in South Boston.
