NYC is temporarily expanding outdoor seating options for food establishments during NYC’s reopening:

  • Open Restaurants – Individual food establishments may apply online and self-certify to use the sidewalk or curb lane adjacent to their business. More information on the Open Restaurants page.
  • Open Streets: Restaurants – Community based organizations, BIDs or groups of three (3) or more restaurants on a single block may join together to apply online for weekend-only outdoor dining on streets closed to traffic. More information and locations on the Open Streets: Restaurants page.

Outdoor dining opened the weekend of July 4. Expanded seating is from 5pm to 11pm on Friday nights, and noon to 11pm on Saturdays and Sundays. Expanded seating program will last until October 31.
