Some of your favorite restaurants in New York City may be bringing their outdoor dining setups up a level, thanks to a new city program.
Restaurant owners can now receive help through the online Dining Out NYC Marketplace – it’s a one-stop shop for helping restaurant owners reimagine their outdoor dining spaces and use the resources available to them.
"This is a program that has been very popular so far, most New Yorkers love it and support it and I think that this is an extension of any space that a restaurant has inside of the establishment that can be expanded to the sidewalk and road way, too,” said Department of Transportation Commissioner Ydanis Rodriguez.
