here in Florida to see people in some places walking around with a drink in their hand. South Beach in Miami has outdoor dining all along the street next to beach (10-12 blocks, some very high-end…read: expensive!) and people wander up and down the area with drinks but, in both places, they have to be in plastic, not glass. Also along Los Olas Blvd. in Ft. Lauderdale. Here, in FL, I think the laws are different in each county or even city. In Coral Springs, we often have arts and crafts festivals with people walking around drinking wine and beer.
Yes, I’ve always believed it is a covered outdoor space. BTW, as much as you’d NEVER see those "fireplaces" out in the open like that, they are really cool. I like the glass beads they have in them.
That reminds me of a restaurant in Cupertino, CA (The Peppermill) that has in their bar a large round fireplace that is filled with water and the fire comes right up out of the water. Really, really neat. A great place to eat also. They served six-egg omelets!! My favorite was The Maserati which came with Italian sausage and covered with marinara sauce. Yum-yum! I understand it’s been torn down now but there’s still one in Reno and Las Vegas.
With the theme parks and some downtown party areas you see outdoor drinking a good amount. But even in Pittsburgh there were events with outdoor drinking, but I can’t remember if the beer was in plastic cups or beer bottles. I want to say plastic cups. I was pretty young when I went to most of those events.
We were in Florida last month and went to the Bayside Marketplace. they too have an open air mall with many resteraunts on the dock. Also have thm throughout the mall area. People were walking with drinks. Since the places have tables out like a food court , it might explain the drinks.
New Orleans also allows drinks in the street but it must be in plastic cups.
That’s one of my absolutely favorite places in Miami. Why, I don’t know but I love going there.
The first time I went there (before I lived in FL) I was amazed that you’d have to pay to park to go shopping. That was unheard of in CA.
lots of indoor malls with outside dining that serve drinks. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a beer pong game going on though. LOL!
Yes, Bayside is really nice. I have been there twice before ( my daughter lives in North Miami), but this is the first time I went with my hubby. He really enjoyed it especially the Mojito bars! It was a great day just walking around and enjoying the scenes not to mention the food. As far as parking fee, I am from Pennsylvania and we have places that charge for parking.
We went to Miami because our son-in-law became a US citizen and we went down for the ceremony. The INS really did a memorable job with modern music (God Bless the USA, Coming to Aerica and of course Ray Charles America ) and a speaker. Each new citizen got a framed certificate and a small flag. They also gave flags to his 3 children. It was an memorable experience for our whole family.
