The bill has a few key differences from the city’s temporary Open Restaurants program. Restaurant owners would be required to dismantle their outdoor structures each year from November 30 to March 31, a blow to operators who invested in outdoor setups to attract customers and adhere to city regulations during the pandemic. Sidewalk cafes would be allowed year-round.
Now that the bill has been approved by City Council, it heads to Mayor Eric Adams, an outspoken supporter of outdoor dining. He is expected to sign the bill into law.
