Why outdoor dining in New York just got a big boost with a new state law
ALBANY - Let them eat on the sidewalks.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo on Wednesday codified an executive order during the COVID-19 pandemic into state law that allows restaurants to continue to use municipal spaces like sidewalks and streets for outdoor dining.
The measure, which passed the state Legislature last month, allows restaurants to use the public spaces for another year as they recover from the economic downturn caused by the pandemic as outdoor dining has become an increasingly popular option.
Initially, the pandemic had limited restaurants to take-out only, then slowly allowed outdoor and indoor dining to resume. Now eateries can open at full capacity for vaccinated patrons, but still have to keep social distancing for unvaccinated ones.
