"Schanigarten" is an Austria n term for when a Coffeehouse or other establishment sets up tables and seats on the sidewalk. Originally the term referred only to Viennese Coffeehouses , but now the expression is used in other parts of Austria and for other types of establishments like bars and restaurants. Unlike normal "Gastgartens", the customers actually sit on public property. The first authorization for a "Schanigarten" was given in 1750 to coffeehouse owner Gianni Tarroni. The origins of the term are unknown. One thread of speculation believes it stems from "Gianni's Garten." Another popular tale involves a worker named "Schani" who was told once to "Put up the garden!" In order to operate a "Schanigarten", an establishment needs an authorization which is valid from March 1 to November 15 . |
