As outdoor dining structures must be dismantled amid new city regulations, local diners express relief while restaurant staff voice concerns about the financial impact on their businesses.
The city mandates that all outdoor dining structures must be removed by Friday, leading to mixed reactions from patrons who find them unsightly and from staff worrying about reduced seating for the holiday rush.
Mirico Mennuni, manager at San Carlo Osteria Piemonte, expressed disappointment over the closure of outdoor seating during a crucial holiday period, fearing decreased profitability as a result.
Tom Avallone, owner of Nick's Bistro, emphasized the serious financial repercussions of losing 50 seats, predicting tens of thousands of dollars in lost revenue and staff reductions.
