Al fresco dining is coming back to Boston ahead of schedule.
Boston Mayor Marty Walsh announced Friday that the 2021 Outdoor Dining Pilot Program, originally scheduled to start on April 1, will now begin on March 22. One caveat: North End restaurants will still be required to wait until April 1 before debuting their outdoor patios.
“Outdoor dining was one of the bright spots last summer and fall, and we’ve seen the benefits it has had on our neighborhoods: supporting local businesses, a safe and enjoyable experience for restaurant patrons, and an added resource for Boston’s small businesses during this challenging time,” Walsh said in a statement. “I’m thrilled we are able to start this program even earlier, and I look forward to businesses and residents taking advantage of it.”
