The city was rocking last night so it seemed like a good time to do an update on the outdoor dining scene. Curbside dining resumed on April 1 (it runs through November 29) and the city Department of Transportation has a list of the approved restaurants here. I’ve listed the Tribeca ones below. (This does not include the sidewalk cafes — that’s a separate list.)

The rules are a lot stricter since the original pandemic variations — the structures must now be mobile, accessible and “lighter,” meaning without walls and roofs. And I’ve seen some structures on the street (File Gumbo Bar for one) that are not on the list, so either some are pending approval or the list is lagging… I think we can assume this was not a simple process for restaurants.

The city is still debating alternative plans, with proposals at the City Council for a year-round program and less strict rules about sidewalk width and distance from corners and intersections. See the current regulations here.

Now here was an interesting one: Little Rascal Bar is listed at 130 Franklin, which is Gotan. I sent a note — maybe there are plans there for after hours? I don’t recall a liquor license application there…
