I’ve written about al fresco dining before. I am grateful for those days when we can grab our plates and head out onto our back patio and enjoy a little outdoor living.
But on a recent trip, as I wandered about, I was struck by the sheer volume of restaurants that now offer outdoor seating. I know it all started because of COVID, but it’s magnificent!
Restaurants have taken over the street parking spaces and created dining rooms behind hedge-filled planters and temporary pony walls.
Some are bright and cheery, others take on a more formal tone with their tablecloths and flower-filled mini vases.

As we head into the time of year when the weather can bless us with perfect days and evenings, consider finding a restaurant with outdoor seating, someplace you can sip a glass of wine, enjoy a tasty meal and have fun watching the world go by for a little while.
There’s a whole world out there just waiting to be explored. You gotta eat, so you might as well watch other people explore while you take a break.
