New York City restaurants have until the end of Friday to dismantle their roadway outdoor dining setups for the season.

The city’s Department of Transportation requires restaurants to remove all roadway dining structures by Nov. 29, with the program set to resume on April 1. Businesses failing to comply can face fines of up to $1,000, the agency said.

The permanent outdoor dining program, approved in August 2023, bans curbside sheds and mandates that seating areas remain open-air, with umbrellas or overhead coverings instead of roofs.

Structures must also meet specific criteria, such as being movable for cleaning, adhering to the Americans with Disabilities Act and staying within the frontage of the restaurant.

Sidewalk dining setups remain an option year-round but must follow separate design and permitting guidelines.

Businesses must secure permits for both sidewalk and roadway outdoor dining setups, costing $1,050 each for a four-year period.

Businesses also face annual fees based on square footage, with rates up to $31 per square foot for sidewalk space in parts of Manhattan.

Applications for outdoor dining permits are open year-round, according to the DOT. For those planning to participate next season, permits can be obtained online.
