The New York City Economic Development Corporation issued a report on sidewalk cafes in NYC and it turns out that Astoria takes the cake for most unenclosed sidewalk cafes outside of Manhattan! Our neighborhood boasts 43 cafes (a whopping 15,000 square feet)! The next closest outer borough is Williamsburg, Brooklyn with a mere 15 sidewalk cafes (3,600 square feet).
Additionally, in looking at individual restaurants, Athens Cafe (a local favorite of ours for greek frappes) comes in at #4 in NYC with its 936 square feet of sidewalk space! Pretty impressive!
