During the pandemic, the Temporary Restaurants program saved 100,000 jobs and kept businesses afloat.
Under the new rules, sidewalk dining would be permitted with a reduced fee than under the once pre-pandemic program. That fee would be based on rent and location of restaurants.
Outdoor dining structures would only be permitted to be open April through November, and owners will have to remove them during the off-season. "The models that we will have for the outdoor dining space will be removable to allow for emergency vehicles to come through, to allow for sanitation to help clean out," Councilwoman Marjorie Velasquez said.Mayor Eric Adams released the following statement Thursday:
"The temporary Open Restaurants program saved 100,000 jobs and countless local restaurants at the height of the pandemic, while helping the city reimagine its public spaces. It also left hundreds of abandoned sheds on our streets that have become havens for rats and eyesores for New Yorkers. For months, I have been saying loud and clear that outdoor dining is here to stay and we need to get it right.
