Is This the Saddest Pandemic Dining Experience in America? - Curbed
"A small outdoor-seating area sculpted out of the Central Avenue entrance was never fully activated — perhaps because developer Rick Caruso’s Americana at Brand, another mall right across the road, offers grass and seating, plus dancing fountains for entertainment. Since it’s laid out like a Main Street, the Americana’s stores are permitted to be open, and walking through the luxuriously spaced outdoor-dining tables with people in designer-brand masks feels like some kind of coronavirus-era theme park." - Alissa Walker
