NYC Outdoor Dining Program

  • 🍽️ The New York City outdoor dining program is set to begin, with permits issued for 617 roadway setups and over 1,800 sidewalk sheds.
  • πŸ“… Currently, the program allows outdoor dining only between April and November, a restriction some find too limiting.

Proposed Legislation for Year-Round Dining

  • πŸ›οΈ Assembly member Tony Simone has introduced a bill aiming to make outdoor dining available year-round in NYC.
  • πŸ’° Supporters argue that a year-round program would benefit customers and local businesses, as it's too costly for small businesses to repeatedly set up and take down roadway cafes.
  • πŸ“ˆ The bill's proponents are seeking support from Governor Hokll, despite the city's Department of Transportation overseeing these dining structures.
