Outdoor dining setups to remain permanent in some areas of Philly with mayors approval

The streeteries, sidewalk cafés and other outdoor dining spaces that emerged as popular alternatives for restaurants amid the COVID-19 pandemic will now become permanent fixtures in parts of Philadelphia.

City Council unanimously passed legislation Thursday that permanently allows licensed outdoor dining setups to continue operations in predetermined areas of Philly.

Among the designated sections of the city that will permit streeteries include Center City, Old City, West Philly, South Philly, Manayunk and Fishtown.

Outdoor dining spaces will be permitted to operate between 7 a.m. and 10 p.m. from Sunday through Thursday, and between 7 a.m. and 11 p.m. on Friday and Saturday.
