What Outdoor Dining Could Look Like For The Rest of 2020
BERLIN - NOVEMBER 17: Patio heaters stand at a outside cafe as people's enjoy the sun on November 17, 2008 in Berlin, Germany. Five Berlin districts have agreed to ban patio heaters at outdoor restaurants in the new year because the heat lamps guzzle energy and pollute the air. The controversial heaters, popularly known in Germany as Heizpilze, or heat mushrooms, because they are shaped like the fungus, have again been popping up in their thousands on outdoor terraces and sidewalks as colder weather takes hold.
