Meanwhile, more than 100 NYC restaurants are planning a class-action lawsuit demanding the city and state allow for the return of indoor dining. Transit advocates have called on the city to vastly expand its Open Streets plan on blocks where restaurants are taking advantage of outdoor seating. Another 3,276 restaurants are using the sidewalk, while 5,473 are using both sidewalks and roadways.

Last month, a truck driver in Sunset Park injured three people in Sunset Park outside L'Wren bar.ĭata from the city shows there are nearly 10,000 establishments across the city participating in the Open Restaurants Plan, with just under 1,000 solely based in the roadway. The crash marks at least the fifth time that a driver has rammed into an outdoor dining area since June, when Mayor Bill de Blasio allowed restaurants to set up seating on streets and sidewalks to offset some of their financial losses of the pandemic.Įarlier this week, the driver of a Cadillac Escalade careened into the canopied area in front of Delizia 92 on the Upper East Side, injuring three people. Though some of the restaurant's wooden planters were damaged in the crash, the outdoor area is once again open, Guerra said. "The car took off right away," she told Gothamist, adding that she'd received confirmation that the woman was not seriously injured. Ladia Guerra, a barista at Cafe Alula who witnessed the hit-and-run, said she was shocked by the speed of the incident. A 33-year-old woman was hospitalized after suffering pain on the right side of her body, according to an NYPD spokesperson.
