Eating
out
North Coast eateries
adapt amid pandemic
By M.J. CODY
I
t can be sunny and beautiful outside
but as we’re still amidst the corona-
virus pandemic, there’s concern about
eating indoors — even at cafes, bakeries
and bistros. Many of us have been trying
take-out or delivery but sometimes we just
want to feel a little more normal. Luck-
ily, some restaurants have outdoor seat-
ing, whether already outfi tted with decks
and patios or making use of parking lots,
sidewalks and closed streets. Here are
some of those restaurants in north Clat-
sop County with open-air dining.

Astoria is making good use of its out-
door spaces.
There’s always the fun-for-kids Bow-
picker at 16th and Duane streets. Line
up outside and order from a real boat to
get your unremarkable tuna fi sh & chips.
S ocial distance on the sidewalk or at a bit
of nearby grass. Heading toward town on
the waterfront, Mo’s has panoramic views
and table service on their riverside deck
(no reservations, fi rst come, fi rst served).
You can still get your coffee fi x, sand-
wiches and salads at Street 14 Café. Pre-
order your items online (street14cafe.
com) for pick-up and commandeer one
of their sidewalk picnic tables strewn
along Commercial Street, as well as
14th Street. Across the street, on the cor-
ner of Marine Drive, it’s fresh seafood at
Northwest Wild Products and Hurricane
Ron’s where outdoor seating charmingly
attempts other-than-the-sidewalk setting
with plants and fl owers.
Crossing Marine Drive , you can perch
on nearby steps or stand to enjoy your
French fries or cones from Frite & Scoop.
Also found on the waterfront are Astoria
