MORRIS PARK AVENUE COMMERCIAL CORRIDOR!
Morris Park Business Improvement District
Phase Two Re-opening is here!
Temporary Outdoor Dining Seating to Allow Social Distancing
during COVID-19 Recovery
NYC’s Open Restaurant Program is an effort to implement a
citywide multi-phase program to expand outdoor seating
options for food establishments to promote open space,
enhance social distancing, and help them rebound in these
difficult economic times.
This program is designed to assist existing food establishments
that have been authorized by the Governor of the State of
New York to re-open under Phase Two and want to use
outdoor areas on a temporary basis.
This application is only for food establishments seeking
permission to place outdoor seating in front of their
establishment on the sidewalk and/or roadway. You do not
need to apply to place outdoor seating on private property.
To speed up the approval process, NYC is allowing food
establishments to self-certify that they meet program
requirements. If you are a restaurant interested in offering
outdoor seating, please apply here:

Governor Cuomo amended Executive Order 202.43 (EO) to include updated guidance for food and beverage establishments effective immediately.
Under this EO, businesses selling or serving alcohol to be consumed at the business or elsewhere must ensure that everyone within 100 feet of their business is:
In compliance with open-container, social-distancing, and face-covering rules; and
Following all existing rules, regulations, and laws.
Businesses that cannot follow these guidelines must stop selling alcohol until they can. Violations could result in having a license suspended or revoked, with fines up to
$10,000 per violation. Patrons can also be fined for breaking open container or social distancing rules.
