By Gus Saltonstall<\/p>\n

In recent days, you might have noticed restaurants once again erecting outdoor dining cafes on the Upper West Side.<\/p>\n

The official outdoor dining season in New York City began on Wednesday, April 1. The \u201cDining Out NYC\u201d<\/a> program runs until November 29, and restaurants can once again offer seating on both the sidewalk and the roadbeds outside of their storefronts.<\/p>\n

Restaurants can provide sidewalk cafes all year long, while the outdoor dining set-ups on the street can only be operated from April through November.<\/p>\n

Below is a list of the 101 Upper West Side restaurants that have at least received conditional approval for outdoor dining in 2026.<\/p>\n

As of April 1, more than 1,600 restaurants in the five boroughs were eligible to operate a roadway or sidewalk dining option.<\/p>\n

Since we are still just a handful of days into the outdoor dining season, there is a good chance that some of these restaurants have not yet fully set up their operation.<\/p>\n
