BP Adams Releases Statement On Mayor De Blasio’s Announcement That NYC’s Outdoor Dining Will Be Permanent

Press release from the Office of the Brooklyn Borough President:

September 25 2020

“The City’s outdoor dining program has proven to be a success in recent months, helping to support struggling small businesses during the COVID-19 pandemic, reinvigorating city streets, and restoring a much-needed sense of normalcy for New Yorkers. With our city still reeling from the economic devastation wrought by the coronavirus, I am glad to see this program will now be made permanent. As someone who worked as a dishwasher early in my career, I firmly believe restaurants should be for all New Yorkers – not just a privileged few. This kind of practical policymaking must continue to guide our recovery, with a strong emphasis on equity, in the months and years ahead,” said Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams.
