This year, outdoor dining in New York City has transformed significantly, primarily due to new regulations from the City Council. Streetsblog NYC's team explored various boroughs and found that many once lively curbsides have reverted to simply parking spaces. Moreover, the limited number of outdoor dining establishments that remain are overwhelmingly situated in affluent neighborhoods, raising concerns about equitable access to outdoor dining experiences. This shift marks a stark contrast compared to the vibrant outdoor dining culture seen in previous years.
With the new rules for outdoor dining, many curbsides have returned to simply being car storage, lacking the vibrancy they once had.
The visit to various boroughs revealed that most outdoor eateries are concentrated in the wealthiest areas, sparking concerns about accessibility.
