“All the restaurateurs, all the bar owners want to keep these parklets,” said Tony Gemignani of Tony’s Pizza.
He said the extra tables are needed to help businesses get back on their feet and to help cover new costs of higher wages.
“If we can’t make up for the lost income, by just having some additional seating, I don’t know where we’ll be,” said Gemignani.
Tourists give the parklets two thumbs up, too.
“It’s very enjoyable to be eating outside,” said Libby Maynard of Boston. “I love it.”
“I think in many ways it’s an improvement. We’ve seen it in a number of city’s,” said Nick Maynard of Boston. “We saw it in LA, and we see it here. It’s nice to be in the fresh air.”
