Outdoor Dining NYC - Rules and Deadlines

Under Dining Out NYC’s permanent outdoor dining program, roadway outdoor dining will come to an end on November 29th. While establishments with compliant sidewalk-based outdoor dining setups can continue to operate year-round. The country’s largest outdoor program preserves what New Yorkers have come to love about outdoor dining, while addressing key quality of life issues.

Roadway outdoor dining season operates from April 1st through November 29th each year. All food service establishments that have roadway outdoor dining setups, must remove their setups by the end of the day on November 29th,  2024 or be subject to fines.

Restaurants that haven’t applied for the outdoor dining program, still can. The Department of Transportation is accepting applications for the outdoor dining program year-round.

Bars and restaurants that need assistance with design, storage, or installation can visit the Dining Out NYC Marketplace.
