Outdoor dining has become part of New York City’s identity - transforming streets into lively, social spaces that reflect the city’s energy and creativity. Since 2020, restaurants have embraced this new layer of urban life, blending architecture, hospitality, and public space.
The Dining Out NYC program sets clear design and safety standards, ensuring outdoor structures are both positive contributions to the streetscape, and provide great amenity to restaurants and patrons.
At re-ply, we help restaurants meet DOT's standards with architect-designed, modular systems that are easy to install, low maintenance, and meet the objectives of bot the city and business owners. We bring good design to the street - then take it down, store it for the winter, and bring it back next Spring!
