Question
Hello Rabbi, Is eating in a garden [in a park] or in a restaurant [pizzeria] that is right next to a public area considered eating in the market? What is the definition of eating in the market? Thank you very much.
Answer
Hello
Any seating area designated for organized eating, where people normally eat, is not prohibited.
Therefore, a restaurant where it is customary to eat, as well as parks where people usually sit, are not considered 'eating in the market'.

See Maaserot, Chapter 3, where a place where it is not shameful to eat is defined as a courtyard and not as a market.
