The destruction of two dozen abandoned outdoor dining structures at the center of a yearslong debate over the longevity of the program is underway, New York City Mayor Eric Adams announced on Thursday.

“What I want to say loud and clear, as much as I can have a hand in it: Outdoor dining is here to stay and we want to make sure while it’s here, we get it right,” Adams said during the Thursday press conference. Critics of outdoor dining remain a small faction of residents, Adams said. A lawsuit seeking to end outdoor dining across the five boroughs — deeming its continuation as executive overreach by the mayor — is bogging down long-running efforts to preserve it, he added.
Still, outdoor dining has been credited with saving jobs and a vital aspect of city life — eating at restaurants — even amid an ongoing public health crisis. The mayor has repeatedly said the program has saved 100,000 jobs.
