You're food hypnotist: I'm getting hungry, very hungry ... and a good food photographer as well as writer. Thanks for sharing all these inspiring ideas.

Thanks! Food photography has always been my least favorite part of being a food writer. So I'm really glad to know you found these compelling!

You should enter my contest! Everyone wins! :)

Hi Wini, and thanks for another good article! Maybe for a future column, would you consider reviewing or recommending locations with good food AND a good view for al fresco dining? We are fairly new to the area, and have yet to find a restaurant with outdoor seating that does not look out over a parking lot, busy street, or highway (thinking of the retention pond behind Johnny’s in Altoona … couldn’t someone at least plant some trees out there?!)

Thanks and keep up the good work!

Thanks, Sara! I've been harping for years about the views from restaurant patios. Parking lots don't cut it! I need to update my list. Thanks for the idea!

Honestly, it's not the best list. It's a year old, and it was written when I just started this Substack. It has a few good options, but ... I'm not that thrilled with them.
