New York City Restaurants out on the Street - Part 2

 As a sequel to my earlier reporting on the Restaurant Land Grab transpiring in and about Chelsea, Manhattan, may I present an update on current curbside goings-on in the area of fine dining.

First of all, the field of play has leveled up. The ramshackle tent cities are a thing of the past except at the most Jesus-take-the-wheel establishments. 

I also appreciate the variety in both architecture and decor. You have your woodsy "cabin" styles, juxtaposed with kind of fresh greenhouse looks and then your more thematic construction efforts.

Here's a bunch of photos I've taken lately:

There's a whole sushi bar in there.

Each little compartment has a table
and old-timey photos on the
divider walls

It kind of looks like a doll-house from
this angle. Except for the cone.

This is a gigantic establishment, amiright?
It being situated right on the
bike lane could get interesting.
Hopefully everybody has insurance.

Here's another "both sides of the sidewalk"
landgrab.

Stripes! Also points for using the scaffolding
as the roof for the sidewalk seating.
Well played McGuyver Restaurant People!

This one had better be selling Rootbeer.
It just has a roadside
rootbeer barn vibe.

This one they picked up in a flat box
and put it together with an
allen wrench.
I'm pretty sure.
