NEW YORK (WABC) — The New York City Council is expected to pass a bill Thursday that would bring back year-round outdoor dining in the city.<\/p>\n

Currently, roadway dining structures are only allowed to be up from April 1 until Nov. 29.<\/p>\n

The new legislation would allow restaurants to keep up their structures all year and winterize them for the colder months.<\/p>\n

Outdoor dining was allowed year-round during the pandemic, but new rules adopted during the Adams administration forced restaurants to dismantle their outdoor structures and put them back up every spring.<\/p>\n

Council Speaker Julie Menin prioritized the resumption of dining structures<\/a> on city streets year-round when she became speaker earlier this year.<\/p>\n

Mayor Zohran Mamdani has already said he is in support of year-round outdoor dining.<\/p>\n
