A 7598 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Relates to year-round outdoor dining

This bill requires cities and towns that currently allow sidewalk or street-front cafes to permit them to operate year-round, rather than restricting them to warmer months. It directly affects municipalities with existing regulations for these outdoor dining spaces and defines "sidewalk cafe" (on public sidewalks) and "roadway cafe" (in curb/parking lanes). The bill does not prevent local governments from enforcing health, safety, or snow removal rules related to these cafes, such as maintaining pedestrian access or street cleanliness. It takes immediate effect upon enactment.
