Industry City—the largest indoor/outdoor, mixed-use campus in NYC—launched an extensive heated outdoor dining experience with some of New York's favorite food vendors. Each building is lined with heaters and features outdoor HVAC installations with courtyard seating that is comfortable to sit in throughout winter. The five breathable tents and heated tables throughout total more than 12,000-square-feet of seating. The heat comes from the building and the ducts allow tents to have open air circulation will maintaining comfortability.
