At what point does 'outdoor dining' become indoor dining?

1. I wonder about this also

2. You keep saying that word

3. That's basically inside a tent

Inside a tent is indoors.

4. I'm not dining indoors,

not even if the indoors is outdoors.

5. I was wondering the same thing when cafe near me put up those same tents

complete with vinyl windows.

Stupid behavior - it's like children bending their parents rules.

Outdoors includes:

Actual outdoors
Breezeways between buildings
Sheltered walkways
Screened patios - as long as there is cross-ventilation and the windows are open to allow it to occur.

Indoors visits are prohibited; outdoors visits no longer than 2 hours in duration are permitted (upt to 6 people total, including residents), masked except when actively eating.

YMMV depending on the health order, etc.

So far (crossing my fingers) zero residents have contracted COVID 19.

The upper right picture might satsify the cross-ventilation requirement - it isn't clear. Not sure about the others.

As a practical matter - none of those are safe enough for my risk tolerance.

7. I am not sitting in a very crowded snow globe nor am I delusional

I am not sitting in a very crowded snow globe nor am I delusional to think this represents outdoor dining and proper space for protection and I have no risks but
not stupid will not gamble for food or drink

8. Legally, in NYC,

If more than two sides are fully enclosed it qualifies as indoor dining and must follow those rules, 25% capacity/6ft spacing.

Of course, enforcement is a whole different issue...

9. whatever. it's better than 100% capacity in a single room.

10. That's indoor.
