is this not the best COVID safe outdoor restaurant dinning setup you’ve seen or what? Imagine eating out while you rest your butt on properly heated seats! It’s heat where you want it most – not some electrical death wish hanging over your head giving you a permanent perm you never asked for!

these self heating “stanley kubrick looking” pods can be customized – but for my money Id take the white ones off the cart. they seat 4, actually warm you up, are environmentally “sane” using limited amount of electricity (1/10th of standard heaters out there), they slide open, and slide close for storage, and have detachable roof and side panels to isolate when needed and air out during summer. now why didn’t anyone else come up with that?

last time I sat out in new york was in december and i said to myself, “this is the last dinning i’m doing during winter.” our scalp and hair where on fire and our toes were numb. the metal chairs where like frost bites sticking to my ass like a popsicle to a brat’s tongue.

we ate our food as quickly as possible, skipped the bottle of wine, and desert and espresso, and got the hell out of there. when I got home i started looking to see if any place, in NY had sorted this shit out. none! there level of laziness in sorting this out is incredible. to their credit not many options are out there. its either get some useless electric heaters or smell the fuel while you eat and set the place on fire…

COVID safe isolation – with glass roof and perspex side panels in place

for warmer days, and rainy days the side panels are removed

pod closes down and has a wheel base for transport during street cleaning and closing or storage

modular and cohesive, put a series together with no side panels to join tables – seats 4, 8, 12 , etc.

or close the side panels to isolate groups of up to 4 – whats cool is that they also maximize the available space thanks to its mobility on wheels – slide out, get in, slide back up. just genius!

ok now… lets get all that f#@ing refuge-camp shit off the street of manhattan, and use our heads so we don’t ruin this city any more than its been ruined already. also lets get a solution to a problem that is engineered and thought out (lets say by a colombia university masters graduate) vs slapping some crap wood panels together and half ass solving the real problem which is the lack or any “pleasure” in dinning outdoors! this is especially needed when you already are counting your savings every time you consider eating out. can’t wait for this to be over but in the meantime – which is looking like FOREVER, given the various mutant strains of this virus – let’s do it right people. you can contact flow and co if your planning to remain in business… and then please let us know so we can come and test this shit out. by uh
