I'm reminded of an alley in Florence that was very unfriendly to those wishing to sit and eat outside their shops, see my post for pictures. This large group of people, these on-the-go lunchers, could use an array of options even if the option has to be carried in their lunch bag. The nice thing with these ideas is that it works with the existing infrastructure and allows people the freedom to choose their own spot, which I think it pretty cool. Unfortunately, there isn't always going to be a friendly attitude to people eating on window ledges or space for tables.

Perhaps the vendors could have little dining bars that extended around their moveable cart. It would provide a surface for people to place their meal on and eat.

Adjacent buildings should be able to provide space, either with bar like ledges attached to the building or by permitting tables and chairs or benches to be placed on their sidewalk.
