About 22% of New York City's bars and restaurants have opened outdoor seating. But not all restaurants can recoup their losses -- some can only fit a few tables.“Outdoor dining doesn’t treat everyone equally; some of it is the luck of geography.”
Restaurants across New York City had already rehired more workers and scheduled training to go over new hygiene protocols when officials made a last-minute decision on Wednesday to postpone indoor dining.

DeSantis says he won’t delay state’s reopening plans At the upscale Lebanese restaurant ilili, located near Manhattan’s Washington Square Park, owner and chef Philippe Massoud had spent the last three days rehiring staff and scheduled training sessions for Monday and Tuesday, he said.
“It’s disappointing for sure because we did get our hopes up,” Peers said, adding that he wishes the city will be as flexible as possible with outdoor dining and that the state liquor authority will extend a special rule allowing restaurants with licenses to sell booze to go. That allowance is pegged to expire on July 26.
