This is a report showing the distirbution of square footage of enclosed vs. unenclosed sidewalk cafes in NYC. It is based on the latest release of data by NYC at the time of report generation. This report was generated on ‘r data()’

The data was split into two dataframes containing the enclosed and unenclosed data using the following code:

enclosed <-subset.data.frame(sidewalk, sidewalk$Sidewalk.Cafe.Type == 'Enclosed')
unenclosed <-subset.data.frame(sidewalk, sidewalk$Sidewalk.Cafe.Type == 'Unenclosed')

The data was then plotted with this code:

boxplot(enclosed$Lic.Area.Sq.Ft, unenclosed$Lic.Area.Sq.Ft, names = c("Enclosed", "Unenclosed"), main="MYC Sidewalk Cafe Size")

Summary The median size of the reported 129 enclosed cafes is 325.5 square feet. The largest enclosed cafe is 1044 square feet and the smallest is 1 square foot. The median size of the reported 834 unenclosed cafes is 202 square feet. The largest unenclosed cafe 1300 square feet and the smallest is 30 square feet.
