Open Streets: Restaurants

This program expands seating options for restaurants on select restaurant corridors citywide by closing streets to traffic to create outdoor dining space.

Ground-floor storefront businesses may also apply to temporarily use existing Open Streets: Restaurants corridors for outdoor retail. Learn what businesses and activities are eligible in the Open Storefronts FAQ.

Steps for new businesses to be added to existing Open Streets: Restaurants corridor:

  1. Existing Open Streets: Restaurants organizing partners must re-apply to add retailers to their corridor
  2. Individual business must self-certify to become an Open Storefront
  3. Managing partners must provide their application ID number to individual businesses so they can complete self-certification

If your business is along an Open Streets: Restaurants corridor and you want to participate, but you are unable to contact the organizing partner, please email openstreets@dot.nyc.gov.

Groups of three (3) or more businesses on at least one single block, may join together to apply for a new Open Streets: Restaurants corridor and offer both restaurant service and outdoor shopping.

These temporary options for retail businesses are available through September 30, 2021.

For more information about the program, please review the updated Open Streets: Restaurants guidelines (pdf).

Weather Information

During severe weather, including heavy snow and strong winds, NYC DOT may require partners to temporarily halt Open Streets and Open Streets: Restaurants’ temporary street closures. During these weather events, partners must secure all barricades, signage, and other furniture and materials associated with Open Streets and Open Streets: Restaurants by removing them from the street. Partners will be notified by email when the programs are suspended due to weather.

 

Outdoor restaurant dining is set up on a street closed to traffic. People sit at small tables spaced 6 feet apart, some under tents. Pedestrians walk down the street closed to vehicles.
