Nearly 100 protesters rallied against outdoor dining sheds in Greenwich Village on Saturday, demanding the city remove the shanties they say have made their lives miserable.
“The noise, the dirt, the rats — it shouldn’t happen on a residential street,” said Stuart Waldman, 80, a village resident and organizer of the protest. “Outside my home, on a given night, there are 15 to 75 people from 8 p.m. to 1 a.m. basically partying. How is that a residential street?” to create a new permanent program. A public hearing is scheduled for Tuesday. The city has said the program saved thousands of restaurant jobs.
