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:
- Existing Open Streets: Restaurants organizing partners must re-apply to add retailers to their corridor
- Individual business must self-certify to become an Open Storefront
- 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).
