“#NYC outdoor dining plan permanent, ‘year-round’<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

\n New York\u2019s dining al fresco program that was launched in the aftermath of the coronavirus pandemic lockdown will become a permanent part of New York City, Mayor Bill de Blasio announced Friday.<\/p>\n

The decision came amid mounting pressure from the City Council and the city\u2019s struggling restaurants and bars for City Hall to release rules for outdoor dining in the winter with indoor dining likely to remain significantly limited for the foreseeable future.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the midst of this crisis, some really good and powerful things happ<\/a>ened. And that was particularly true in the restaurant industry,\u201d Hizzoner told WNYC host Brian Lehrer.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will make the Open Restaurants initiative permanent and year-round,\u201d he added. \u201cI want us to really take this model and make it part of the life of New York City for years and generations to come. This has been, I think, an extraordinarily positive experiment.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Open Restaurant program allows bars and restaurants, which have been devastated by the closures, to claim portions of the sidewalk and curb parking outside of their establishments to set up tables and chairs for drink and food service.<\/p>\n

The program was launched as the coronavirus forced a months-long closure of indoor dining to slow the spread of COVID-19 during the initial outbreak in the spring at left more than 23,000 New Yorkers dead.<\/p>\n

\u201cOutdoor dining has transformed New York City\u2019s streetscape for the better and has been a critical lifeline for thousands of small businesses and jobs throughout the five boroughs during the COVID-19 pandemic,\u201d said Andrew Rigie, the head of the Hospitality Alliance, which represents many city restaurants and bars.<\/p>\n

\u201cToday\u2019s announcement to make outdoor dining permanent, to allow the use of heat lamps to keep customers warm outside during the cooler months, and to allow restaurants to utilize adjacent space where feasible so they can accommodate more guests and generate much-needed revenue is a major step to rebuilding a stronger, more resilient and livable city,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Under the new rules, eateries and bars will be allowed to set up tents outside to help shield patrons from New York\u2019s harsh winters, but the state\u2019s 25 percent rule on dining capacity will apply if the tents are enclosed.<\/p>\n

Additionally, establishments will also be able to set up electric heaters on the sidewalks and roadways to help patrons stay warm. Natural gas and propane-fueled devices will only be allowed on the sidewalks.<\/p>\n

City Hall said that the Fire Department will roll out a permitting process for propane heaters before the end of the month.<\/p>\n

A spokesman also said there may be adjustments to the rules surrounding natural gas heater installations, which currently require Buildings Department permission and for the systems to be tied into an establishment\u2019s gas service.<\/p>\n

Indoor dining is set to make a limited return at just 25 percent capacity at the end of the month.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
