Create a Pop-Up Patio Paradise

Outdoor Dining in Indianapolis, IN, USA

COVID-19 has led to restrictions on indoor dining. But here’s the good news! These limitations have launched an outdoor dining renaissance. Cities across the country are allowing restaurants to add or expand street-side dining with pop-up patios and parking lot tables. In some urban hotspots like Pasadena and New York governments are even closing miles of streets to give businesses more room. 

Street-Side Chic

This fresh-air freedom has prompted many eateries to take their outdoor ambiance to a whole new level. Traditionally, many sidewalk cafes have consisted of dull, crowded rows of tables bordered by metal railings. Well, not anymore! A street-side dining design trend has turned everyday boulevards into a wonderland of mini oases. 

Outdoor dining in New York

In Manhattan you’ll discover Miami-style decor with an inflatable pink flamingo that echoes Baby Brasa’s signature Pink Flamingo Cocktail. Customers sit in the flamingo and sip away their stress. The Mansion Supper Club transformed a graffiti-covered outdoor area into a coral-pink beach party complete with picnic tables, palm trees and a lifeguard chair stationed at the entrance. French cafe Maman walled off tables with rustic birch-trunk fences. Then they added wicker baskets of rosemary, mint and lavender, creating a floral-scented secret garden escape. Tofu House chose a thriftier approach for their patio design. The restaurant painted their orange plastic barriers the color of tree trunks to create an earthy vibe.
