Starting from August 3rd, New York City's Dining Out NYC program will implement new rules for restaurants offering outdoor dining. These rules include maintaining a consistent look across the five boroughs, dismantling outdoor dining sheds between November and April, and paying fees to the city. Fully enclosed sheds, like the one at Shanghai Mong, will be prohibited. While some restaurant owners are concerned about the limitations these regulations may impose, others believe that the sheds should be taken down. The new program aims to make outdoor dining a permanent feature of the city's streets. [Extracted from the article]
