New York City is unveiling its draft rules for the future of outdoor dining.
New York City is unveiling its draft rules for the future of outdoor dining -- and as expected, fully enclosed dining structures, or street sheds, will not be allowed.
Officials say the new program draws on lessons learned from the temporary outdoor dining program created during the COVID-19 pandemic which is credited for saving jobs but led to quality-of-life issues and complaints.The new version of the outdoor dining plan includes making structures more open to the elements.
Restaurateur Mike Prisinzano said he spent about $50,000 for his shed outside Daddies on Hudson Street. It's heated and well-enclosed to be used in all kinds of weather -- but without a roof he says it will get much less use."That's a huge issue, you got to take it down and you got to store it somewhere, right, so then we have to do a cost analysis," Prisinzano said.
