Our goal is to use pop up to bring New Yorkers together. And we aim to bring these ideas to the street rapidly. To both of these ends, with generous support from NYC Small Business Services, here is One Big Table, which our team has taken from drawing board to prototype on the street in the past six weeks. The table is a modular, scalable solution that allows communities to host all sorts of activities, including street dining, on Open Streets along NYC commercial corridors. After testing the table on four Open Streets during the past two weeks, we’ll return to the shop next week to cut more segments, to see just how big we can go.
One Big Table is used for all kinds of events, including a program in partnership with WNYC recording interviews with NYers called “Our Cities Our Stories”
One Big Table has custom lighting for night time activity, and hold standard umbrellas for hot summer days.
