Sitting on the Sidewalk

One of the strangest outdoor seats is at the beloved Via Della Pace, on East 7th Street:

Strangest outdoor seating.

There are railings surrounding everything in front of this restaurant except the table, the edge of which sits flush with the sidewalk.

Also, there's no room to move once you're sitting!

This is made all the stranger by the fact that Via Della Pace is also the site of the coolest outdoor seating in the East Village!

Best Outdoor Seating Ever

East Villagers love to eat at sidewalk cafes! So great is their love for this that some will even sit on top of rickety cellar doors!

Personally, this table at Via Della Pace on East 7th Street is more my style:

More my style.

You're elevated, surrounded by iron railings, there are flowers overhead, there's a door behind you that you can keep closed, there's even a plastic tube to drain the water away from the air conditioner so it doesn't drip on you! They've really thought of everything!

This setting wins the Best Outdoor Seating Ever Award from, you guessed it… East Village Today!
