NEW YORK — Mayor Eric Adams’ administration and the City Council reached a deal Thursday on a bill to allow year-round outdoor dining in New York City while placing limits on polarizing pandemic-style street eating.
Under the agreement, which came after months of haggling, outdoor restaurant dining would be permitted on sidewalks year-round and on city roads from spring to fall — a total of eight months per year.
Permanent dining structures would not be allowed to take up street space during the chilly winter months.
