New York Mayor Bill de Blasio said on Friday that the city is planning to make outdoor dining a permanent option for the thousands of restaurants after they opted to serve their customers on the street amid the pandemic. The city is now mulling extending to year-round Open Restaurants after the program has saved at least 90,000 jobs. The mayor called the open restaurants program a "big, bold experiment in supporting vital industry."
