Did anyone look at the actual images without running their mouths off about how dumb it is apparently not. These are open on all four sides by openings that are so large as to not even hope to impede airflow. They look perfect for keeping the soft piss rain NYC is prone to get in the fall winter and spring. I spent 6 weeks in NYC in 2019 it seems to ALWAYS be misty and cold from Nov till March. These bubbles also seal up so if you were comfortable with everyone in your dining party you could seal 3 sides up and keep nearby people from breathing and sneezing all over you while dining alfresco then open them up and in literally seconds all the air is released , clean the table with Lysol and it’s clean and safe for the next group. NYC has a serious lack of space for outside dining these look perfect to fill that need.
Find a need and develop a product to fill it it’s the essence of innovation. Now it’s a political debate as to inside dining vs outside but given the current parameters set forth by NYC elected leadership those are the current rules so these fill a need quite ingeniously. I’ll be back in NYC soon and look forward to some of the world’s best pizza inside one of these bubbles.
