Open Storefronts Program Extended Through September 2021

Mayor de Blasio has announced that the Open Storefronts Program has been extended through September 30, 2021. The program, which was piloted in November and December, allows storefront businesses to use a portion of the sidewalk to conduct business including:

• Displaying merchandise
• Completing transactions
• Providing areas for customers to line up

Businesses may also use the curbside lane to conduct business activities during the hours that Open Streets: Restaurants is in effect. If you have a storefront business and you are not yet participating in Open Storefronts, visit nyc.gov/openstorefronts to see the full details and sign up for the program.
