NEW YORK -- Outdoor dining sheds across New York City must come down today as the new Dining Out NYC rules for restaurants take effect. On Black Friday, the clock is ticking on restaurant owners to remove their outdoor dining setups, which have been a common sight in all five boroughs for years now. Otherwise, they face fines of up to $1,000 per violation.
Under the city's new law, dining structures are permitted between April 1 and November 29 only. Outdoor sidewalk cafes, however, can still operate year-round Some New Yorkers said the dining sheds were a nuisance, attracted rats, cluttered sidewalks and took away valuable parking spaces. Some restaurant owners said the structures, which went up during the COVID pandemic, were a vital lifeline to bolster seating and bring in more revenue.
