New York restaurants are bracing for another shut down and it’s not the indoor dining ban that Gov. Andrew Cuomo put into effect this week.
A major snowstorm may hit the city this week, and if there’s significant precipitation, restaurants will be forced to close their outdoor dining setups under new guidance issued by the Department of Sanitation, the New York Post reported.
Sanitation has created two separate alerts for inclement weather: “snow alert” or “winter operations advisory.” If the latter is issued, restaurants will have to close down curbside dining before the storm is planned to hit.
