Eat in the Street

What I enjoy about travelling is being outside and seeing new places. Assuming the weather is good and there's something to look at, it's a shame to eat indoors. Some cities have a total lack of nice outdoor seating...I'm not talking about a private patio in the back. I mean, right on the street where people are walking by or where there's a nice view. The US is especially bad when it comes to outdoor drinking. I take every opportunity abroad to have a beer outside on a sunny day. Restaurants and bars in Australia use the outside space well. And if they can't setup tables outside, they'll just remove a wall so it feels outside. A completely open storefront. No door. Just wall to wall open to the street.
Brisbane especially has some nice outdoor eateries along the Queen Street pedestrian mall. They're not on one side of the street or another. They're right in the middle of it, like an island, where you can sit and look at everything.
