Why New York urgently needs more guidance on outdoor dining (Via EaterNY)

The urgency for expanded sidewalk and streetside dining is particularly acute for neighborhoods that exist in tight symbiotic relationships with local business and entertainment communities. Broadway shows, for example, are not currently running, and might not return until January of next year. That means myriad venues in Midtown West and Hell’s Kitchen are slated for an unimaginable drop in revenues as pre- and post-theater dining collapses.
Ramping up restaurants to full-service too quickly would mean taking furloughed staffers off the stability of pandemic unemployment assistance, potentially resulting in lower pay and infections during a time when testing still isn’t easy to come by and when the city’s delayed contact tracing program is still getting up and running. San Francisco actually goes further than New York in this regard to ensure staffer and diner safety.
Plus, some establishments could have a harder time accessing the space — one thinks of vendors deep inside malls or above-ground restaurants in Koreatown — and it’s not yet clear how this would impact the city’s street food vendors, many of whom are out-of-work and even more vulnerable because of their size and sometimes immigration status.A sketch of a potential outdoor dining plan for a restaurant in the BronxStill, comprehensive guidelines, could go a long way.
