Do they have those outdoor flame tower heater things in NYC yet? I wouldn’t eat outside in the winter without one, but the last time I was in NYC (near a decade ago, so before most of the recent walkability efforts) I didn’t see any. It was a real surprise to move to southern California and see them for the first time in a much warmer climate (even if the nights do get pretty chilly).

They don't use those because there are better options for nyc since space is so tight. The sheds usually have roofs, so in the cold weather they just put plastic over the windows and use space heaters attached to the rafters
