The owner and chef of The Thirsty Koala in Astoria, Katherine Fuchs, has a lot to lose if she can’t find ways to promote her business amid the coronavirus pandemic.
“If this restaurant goes, I’m probably going to lose my house,” said Fuchs.

NYC Outdoor Dining Will Be Permanent, Year-Round: De Blasio
New York City’s al fresco dining program that was launched in the aftermath of the coronavirus pandemic lockdown will become a permanent part of the Big Apple, Mayor Bill de Blasio announced Friday.
Additionally, establishments will also be able to set up electric heaters on the sidewalks and roadways to help patrons stay warm. Natural gas and propane-fueled devices will only be allowed on the sidewalks.

I don't think they would care about the cold. They don't care about the mentally unstable walking around, the garbage right next to their food and drink, the rats and roaches, cars flying by. It's all about the experience for these wackos. What do you think goes down in those plywood shacks when the upper class isn't dining there? Apparently worth it for them to get the diversity high they so much crave.

correct, but we will not add to greenhouse gases. We'll add to the cemetery business instead.
