The New York City Council recently voted on key issues, including the controversial sidewalk seating application from Le Dive, a popular wine bar in Dimes Square. Despite community board support, the council rejected the application over concerns about the establishment's history of disregarding sidewalk cafe regulations. This situation underscores the evolving dynamics of outdoor dining in Dimes Square, a vibrant area that gained prominence during the pandemic as flexible dining rules fostered a unique subculture and community engagement among young New Yorkers.
During a committee meeting prior to the vote, Council member Christopher Marte expressed concerns over Le Dive's compliance with sidewalk cafe regulations, stating they cannot be trusted to manage the program.
Dimes Square has emerged as a distinctive micro-neighborhood, a cultural hub for young New Yorkers, especially as loose pandemic regulations allowed outdoor dining to flourish in the area.
