De Blasio is coming back for seconds.
Open air, curbside dining was such a success in New York City that it will return next year, regardless of the pandemic, according to Mayor Bill de Blasio, who lauded the program—being used across the country—as a silver lining for the hard-hit hospitality industry. De Blasio announced the planned return of the “Open Restaurants” initiative on Monday during a City Hall presser, highlighting the “tremendous success” of al fresco eateries.
Restaurants began transforming sidewalks and parking spaces into Parisian-esque outdoor dining areas in late June as the city entered phase two of reopening.
