Outdoor Dining Continues

The NYC Planning Commission has voted in favor of language that would allow the creation of a new permanent outdoor dining program. It removes certain restrictions on where sidewalk cafes can be located and various aspects governing how they are situated throughout the five boroughs. The temporary emergency program expires in late 2022. The Mayor and City Council must approve the text amendment, and enact appropriate legislation.
