If you have been to Paris, people are nearly on the street eating at cafes.

It's called a brown paper bag. If you're too hoity toity to hide one between your legs from restaurant staff and passersby while eating outside then I just don't know what else to tell you.

Also, I hear Lola's is thinking about putting on a deck (this from a reliable source behind the bar). And there is one porch table available, but I hate the sad eyes glancing my way as others wait for their own table or feeling my lungs single a little as others light up.

Spinster, thanks for the eyewitness tip. I want to get to the bottom of this. I suppose it's probably a bad sign when the source of information starts to sound all Ferris Bueller.

I haven't researched the law (it would cut into my Page Six, time), but I've seen people drinking wine al fresco at Cafe de Paris. I think it didn't work out because it's a lousy location for outdoor dining. The corner of Quarrier and Capital stays fairly busy during prime dining hours and the only thing that may be less appetizing than the car fumes is the thought of Banana Joe's crowd hovering around or passing by my table once those doors open.
