New York City’s pandemic-era outdoor dining program will continue next year, Mayor Bill de Blasio said
“I want the folks who own the restaurants to know that they’re going to have that additional revenue going forward,” he said. “It’s been an extraordinary success.”
“We’re looking at that right now,” de Blasio said. “We’re going to look at whether we can go further this year. That’s still an open question. But I think it’s really important for the restaurateurs and everyone in that industry and everyone in communities to know it’s coming back next year, so they can plan.”
Outdoor dining has not brought in enough cash for many businesses to cover rent and expenses, according to the group.
