Years ago we were quite impressed
when a restaurant had open air dining. That’s because we were treated to
beautiful views of forests, mountains, lakes, golf course fairways and other
sights making our lunch or dinner a pleasurable experience. Unfortunately it was rare for us to
experience these patio pleasures locally.
More than likely we enjoyed these on vacation trips to more exotic
places.
Boy has this changed. We can now dine with spectacular views of
traffic on Queen street
in Southington
and many other urban venues. If that doesn’t rock your boat why not try dining at Wood N’ Tap and view the cars
parked in Friendly's and the Price Chopper’s parking lot.
Oh, and there’s another Queen street restaurant on a corner that tops
that with views of not only Queen street, but a street that directs traffic to
Home Depot. This way you get an even
greater thrill seeing all those trucks going up the hill for supplies. I could go on and on describing all these
newly constructed walled in patios bedecked with trees and flowers, both real
and fake.
Since New
England offers scant weeks to enjoy this new found phenomenon,
some have even provided portable heaters to stretch the season, and perhaps
marvel at the Fall foliage on the “Charlie Brown” type trees along these city
streets. Who in the world started this
ridiculous trend? I guess if one does it
the rest must follow suit to avoid losing all that business created by outdoor
dining….lol. I for one am going to
continue dining inside and relax in air- conditioned comfort away from the
flies and bees that always seem to locate me.
