Boston Mayor Michelle Wu is bringing back the COVID-19 outdoor dining program throughout the city this year, except in the North End, where owners must pay hefty fees to participate.
Last year in Boston, more than 400 restaurants took advantage of serving outside.
"We’re really excited, it’s been a really, really tough winter," said David Doyle, owner of Tres Gatos."The start of January was really tough with the omicron variant so we in the restaurant community need our patios back as much as ever.”Outdoor dining areas have to close at 9:30 p.m. Sunday through Thursday. On Fridays and Saturdays, they can remain open until 10:30 p.m.
Boston is also requiring more insurance and more specific design plans. But perhaps one of the most noticeable changes to restaurant owners is that they will also need updated, heavy-duty barriers. When it comes to those barriers, there has been some pushback from restaurant owners, who argue that the ones they bought last year were a wasted investment."What's frustrating for us is that a lot of investment in time and money was made last year, and now, that investment is a lost investment," Doyle said.
