How many names can you get for the same thing?
Igloo dining, glamping dome, transparent gazebo, glass igloo, dining pod, casa de cupola, geodesic glass dome. These are just a few of the names for these street-dining shelters. It must be a marketing nightmare. A parasol is a parasol; you might even call it an umbrella.

“They’re called igloos.”
