What are these boxed doors outside store fronts in New York?
In New York around lower Manhattan I saw some storefronts with these boxed doors outside.
What are they called and what is their function?
Best Answer
While I do not know what they are called, their purpose is to keep heat inside by creating an extra air chamber between the inside which is heated and the outside. These are usually removed in the warmer months.
