It’s a fine evening to eat dinner in the middle of the street–Fifth Avenue in the Gaslamp Quarter, that is!
Certain restaurants have begun to serve diners at tables in the middle of Fifth Avenue, from G Street down to L Street. “Curbside Gaslamp” has introduced this new way of coping with the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, and the need for people to maintain six feet of social distance. Safely spaced tables occupy an “extended patio” right into the street, which is closed to traffic. Servers wear facial protection. And diners get to feast in the open air, surrounded by the dynamism and color of the historic Gaslamp Quarter!
Curbside Gaslamp is activated on Thursday and Friday 3 pm – midnight, and Saturday from noon to midnight. Safety rules are posted on a sign which I photographed. If you’re curious, click the photo below and it will enlarge for easy reading.
I believe as time goes on, more and more eateries will be participating!

Restaurants and bars are still not being allowed to open yet here in the UK, even if there is space outside. It will be nice to sit outside, enjoy a meal, and a drink with friends again. Great that’s now happening for you all across the pond, hopefully we will be able to do the same in the UK soon. 🙂

The entire situation is a difficult one, and the pandemic just keeps going. Hopefully medical science moves quickly and we get effective vaccines or treatments fairly soon.
