During WNYC’s on Friday, Mayor Bill de Blasio announced that the city’s outdoor dining program will extend through the winter months and be made permanent in NYC. The program was previously set to expire on October 31.The industry can “really take this model and make it part of the life of the city for years to come,” de Blasio said on the show. “I believe this is going to make it a lot easier for restaurants to survive.”Under the new rules, restaurants will be allowed to keep sidewalk and curbside dining going indefinitely. The city’s Open Streets program, which designated dozens of city blocks to shut down to car traffic for dining in the street over the summer, will also be made a permanent fixture. “This will really help us as an important part of how we recover as a city,” de Blasio said.Restaurants will also be able to expand their frontage space to include seating in front of adjacent businesses if those landlords and tenants are open to it, the mayor said. He also stipulated that for restaurants that conduct outdoor dining in the winter, the space has to be kept “more open” to allow enough airflow. If the area is fully enclosed to better heat the space, those dining areas have to adhere to the same seating restrictions as indoor dining, which will start at 25 percent capacity next week.The announcement comes as a major win for restaurant and bar owners across the city, who in with elected officials, have been , , and for an outdoor dining extension for months. Mayor de Blasio had previously for permanent outdoor dining in New York City, but as a recurring summertime tradition, not as the permanent extension he announced today.Even though indoor dining is set to return on September 30, many restaurant owners that outdoor dining is crucial to surviving through the winter. More than 1,700 restaurants and bars in New York City since the start of the pandemic in mid-March, many citing the from takeout and delivery services alone. Those that remain open have said that they’re clinging to all forms of revenue right now, even those with .In August, de Blasio to bringing back outdoor dining next year tentatively starting on June 1, and earlier this month he the city’s outdoor dining program “should become” a permanent seasonal tradition, recurring annually.What isn’t being addressed in this plan is the traffic jam ups created on narrow streets when these restaurants, and other businesses get deliveries during the day. Despite this, the traffic cops are enthusiastically giving out lots of parking tickets to hapless drivers trying to cope with the lack of loading spaces…no ,they can’t do deliveries on bicycles.Byonoh won’t somebody think of the poor drivers, so persecuted! omg what about their precious free parking spots!?ByonJust take you fucking car and get the hell out of NYC already. Seriously tired of car drivers bitching about traffic and other car issues.ByonSTAY AT HOME &amp; WORK AT HOME FOR USA ] H̲o̲m̲e̲ ̲B̲a̲s̲i̲c̲ ̲J̲o̲b̲s̲….. ̲E̲v̲e̲r̲y̲b̲o̲d̲y̲ ̲c̲a̲n̲ ̲e̲a̲r̲n̲ ̲u̲p̲t̲o̲ ̲$1̲5̲k̲ ̲e̲v̲e̲r̲y̲ ̲m̲o̲n̲t̲h̲ ̲f̲r̲o̲m̲ ̲h̲o̲m̲e̲ ̲b̲y̲ ̲w̲o̲r̲k̲i̲n̲g̲ ̲o̲n̲l̲i̲n̲e̲. ̲I̲ ̲h̲a̲v̲e̲ ̲r̲e̲c̲e̲i̲v̲e̲d̲ ̲$1̲7̲2̲9̲4̲ ̲l̲a̲s̲t̲ ̲m̲o̲n̲t̲h̲ ̲b̲y̲ ̲d̲o̲i̲n̲g̲ ̲t̲h̲i̲s̲ ̲e̲a̲s̲y̲ ̲a̲n̲d̲ ̲s̲i̲m̲p̲l̲e̲ ̲j̲o̲b̲ ̲o̲n̲l̲i̲n̲e̲ ̲f̲r̲o̲m̲ ̲h̲o̲m̲e̲. ̲I̲t̲s̲ ̲a̲n̲ ̲e̲a̲s̲y̲ ̲a̲n̲d̲ ̲s̲i̲m̲p̲l̲e̲ ̲j̲o̲b̲ ̲t̲o̲ ̲d̲o̲ ̲o̲n̲l̲i̲n̲e̲ ̲a̲n̲d̲ ̲e̲v̲e̲n̲ ̲a̲ ̲l̲i̲t̲t̲l̲e̲ ̲c̲h̲i̲l̲d̲ ̲c̲a̲n̲ ̲d̲o̲ ̲t̲h̲i̲s̲ ̲j̲o̲b̲ ̲f̲r̲o̲m̲ ̲h̲o̲m̲e̲. ̲E̲v̲e̲r̲y̲b̲o̲d̲y̲ ̲c̲a̲n̲ ̲g̲e̲t̲ ̲t̲h̲i̲s̲ ̲j̲o̲b̲ ̲n̲o̲w̲ ̲b̲y̲ ̲j̲u̲s̲t̲ ̲c̲o̲p̲y̲ ̲t̲h̲i̲s̲ ̲s̲i̲t̲e̲ ̲i̲n̲ ̲b̲r̲o̲w̲s̲e̲r̲ ̲a̲n̲d̲ ̲t̲h̲e̲n̲ ̲f̲o̲l̲l̲o̲w̲ ̲i̲n̲s̲t̲r̲u̲c̲t̲i̲o̲n̲ ̲t̲o̲ ̲g̲e̲t̲ ̲s̲t̲a̲r̲t̲e̲d̲…….. ↠↠↠H̲E̲R̲E̲►COPY THIS WEBSITE………Byon★My last month paycheck was for 1500 dollars…YDK All i did was simple online work from comfort at home for 3-4 hours/day that I got from this agency I discovered over the internet and they paid me for it 95 bucks every hour.See this site………………….ByonGreat but TOTALLY weather reliant. A COLD and SNOWY winter or a BLISTERINGLY-hot summer and it’s over. This nonsense needs to stop, people need to go back to work, there will be nothing left but Papa John’s and the Olive Garden if this shit continues!Byonlol hey you realize it’s 2020 and there’s a lot going on health wise that’s not great, right?Byontrump told him it was TOTALLY fine okByonAnd so is outdoor dining that had previously existed in this city and outdoor dining that exists in the entire world. The restaurants will make do and so will the customers, just like the restaurants and customers of restaurants that have always had outdoor dining in NYC have done and also just like what the restaurants around the world and their customers have done.Truly baffling that outdoor dining is such a novelty to so many people.Byoni don’t think i have ever eaten papa johns or olive garden in nyc……….. . . …ByonGo ahead, Google propane gas tank refills . Now take a couple of thousand restaurants times two per day, times seven days and tell me where the 30,000 tanks of propane per week (minimum) are coming from in November. de Blasio is clueless.ByonByonNot to mention the odds of one of those blowing up are pretty darn high.ByonLet. The. Restaurants. Figure. It. Out.ByonDoes the Mayor understand how to wear a mask?Byonhow do you eat with a mask on?ByonYou’re trying to get the MOST WORTHLESS Politician in history to wear a mask correctly?ByonGreat, most of the year. Not sure Dec-March is worth the effort, and the serious clusterfuck if it snows.ByonLet the restaurants deal with it then. Year round doesn’t mean restaurants must have outdoor dining and customers are forced to eat at them. No one’s holding a gunpoint to restaurant owners and customers that they must eat outside in freezing temperature.ByonFair enough.ByonWhat about heated plates? It may sound like I’m joking but I’m serious. Does anyone make some sort of battery powered (or otherwise) heated plates? I don’t care about being cold. I’ve got a Canada Goose jacket that will keep me plenty toasty even sitting right out in the open with no heating. I just don’t want my food to get cold.ByonYeah it’s called an oven. Real chefs put their plates in an oven before plopping food onto them.Byon
