Restaurants across the country are starting to reopen, but there’s one popular dining category that remains out of commission: outdoor food markets. Places like Smorgasburg in Brooklyn’s Williamsburg neighborhood—where crowds line up for pizza cupcakes and ramen burgers—create an environment that’s impossible to manage under Covid-19 restrictions.
