New Jersey has extended pandemic-era permissions for restaurants, bars, distilleries, and breweries to use outdoor spaces through November 2024 — and some politicians expressed an interest in making outdoor dining permanent in the state.

The bill allows the use of tents, canopies, umbrellas, tables, chairs, and other fixtures on private property or adjacent spaces, like sidewalks, that have been designated by municipalities. Participating businesses still need to get approvals through municipal offices, but the extension of a restaurant or bar into an outdoor space while the law is in effect doesn't require a zoning variance — which can take months for a business to secure, if it's approved at all.
"I can't think of a better idea than eating outside, even when there's no tent and the sun is blazing on your head," U.S. Rep. Bill Pascrell Jr. said at the signing.
