Visiting from out of town, our city still has places that have heaters outside for outdoor dining. Not expecting to be kept super warm, we will still wear our jackets if we have to, but would be nice as an option (we’re not eating indoors with the current covid/rsv/flu wave)
It’s going to be 54 on Friday.

No.
It’s gonna be in the 60s next week, I would sit outside for dinner.
Good thing not everyone thought we would only be here two days ago and gave some suggestions for the better weather ahead :)
Blue Sky in East Liberty has a beautiful heated outdoor pergola with lights. Just call them and ask for pergola seating to be sure it’s available!
Bon Fire in Southside
There are multiple places downtown with outdoor dining. I know Tako and Butcher and the Rye (currently set up as a ski lodge vibe) have outdoor seating and perhaps some others along Penn Avenue
This is technically outside (east) of the city, but it's a great restaurant, bar, and atmosphere. I've been going to since I was a kid. Carl's Tavern on 3386 William Penn Hwy. They recently expanded their heated outdoor dining.

I had a peek at your post history as I was curious as to where youre from - and it looks like NYC..
This is going to sound incredibly harsh, but maybe you need to hear it.. as of 2 months ago, you posted that your partner hasnt seen ANY of his friends since March 2020. Thats 2.5 YEARS.. meanwhile, you somehow feel safe enough to travel and to plan a wedding, but you would rather eat outside during one of the coldest cold snaps in decades because youre afraid of eating indoors because of fear of Covid...
This is NOT healthy - the damage that Covid has done to your and/or your partner's mental health is far worse than any perceived danger from indoor dining. My God... if youre scared, go at on off-peak hour and find a table off to the side... but to be SO scared that you would rather sit outside in THIS weather?! I strongly urge you and/or your partner to immediately seek out mental health treatment - because this irrational fear is not a healthy way to live.
The fact that you took the time to look at their post history AND wrote this comment. Reddit is the tiniest glimpse into someone’s life.
Look at all of the social damage that was done by irrational fear of Covid - those who still subscribe to covidism need to be called out and encouraged to get help for their disorder. It is time to move on with life, and to recognize that life will always have an inherent measure of risk.
why don't you call out the social damages the internet has caused and why it's unhealthy to dig through a random social media user's account and give unsolicited advice on a topic you've only read in passing....
I mean you think that's a healthy way to spend your time?
A topic I've only read in passing? Have you been in a coma since March 2020? Did you avoid living through the pandemic and seeing the terrible impacts of what fear-induced group-think caused globally?
i highly suggest you quit deflecting and instead of trying to give others advice about what you feel is unhealthy for their mental and social health, you take a long hard look at your own actions.
Right after you my dear - you're complaining that I told OP what to do, and you're now responding by telling me what to do. Go get some Windex and clean your mirrors, as you're obviously having a hard time seeing yourself.
more like calling out a hypocrite...
Nearly 3000 people died of COVID last week, but go off, I guess
And what was their average age?
How many people die in traffic accidents every year? Yet you, I, and (maybe?) OP still drives a car, even knowing the risk.
But I don't go out driving when there's sheets of ice on the road.
Nuance exists.
They didn't ask for unsolicited advice. Usually unsolicited advice from internet strangers is not well received. For all you know one of them is very high risk.
Low risk enough to live in one of the largest cities in the country, to travel across the country during one of the busiest travel periods of the year, and to plan a wedding... yet too high risk to go grab an early lunch or dinner and eat it indoors? That doesn't add up.
Ah yes how dare immunocompromised people live and remind you of our existence instead of staying completely shut in our houses because people like you gave up on precautions so early we are currently in yet another covid wave with a variant that is more immune-evasive. How dare we plan weddings (where everyone is tested at the door), visit relatives for the holidays (while wearing KN95s, testing before we see each other, and flying ON CHRISTMAS DAY so that the plane would be as empty as possible), how dare we live in a city (lol got me there. I should live somewhere that DOESN’T have two of the dozen or so experts on one of my illnesses). For someone who is so concerned about my and my partner’s mental health, weird that you can’t understand us occasionally taking what sounds like a much lower risk than you take in your daily life to spend time with family and friends
Jesus, stalker much?
Well now I’m curious
Curious? There is still a pandemic going on. I personally could die if I get Covid, and if I don’t die, my disability will probably progress to the point that I’m no longer able to work and am house-bound if not bed-bound. Shockingly, I also want to live a little before I die. That means having a wedding where people are tested at the door. That means risking taking a flight once a year wearing N95s flying ON CHRISTMAS DAY and having everyone test each time we see each other. That means my partner (and myself) can’t see friends who are being very risky around covid, and I guess it’s hard to maintain a friendship with someone who isn’t committed to helping your partner…live by taking some precautions before they see you.
Yeah. The pandemic has been hell for high risk people and the people who care about us. We know our mental health sucks—we either stay indoors or take occasional risks (smaller risks than this commenter sounds like he takes on a daily basis) so that we can enjoy our lives a bit
