Pop-up Cafe Opportunity for Restaurants - Deadline FRIDAY, DECEMBER 3
| Calling all Chamber Member Restaurants! Do you operate a restaurant in an area where sidewalk cafes are not allowed? The Pop-up Cafes Pilot Program from the Department of Transportation (DOT) might be just the solution.
Modeled after a program in Safe Francisco, New York completed its first Pop-up cafe on Pearl Street and its been a great success. Click here for photos of the Pearl Street operation. Applications are due by December 3, 2010 and require support from your local community board. Here are some of the details.
Pop-up cafes:
- Can accommodate more than one restaurant or café on a block
- Are considered public space, i.e. they can be used by anybody, not only the restaurant/café clientele.
- Cafe hours are customarily limited for early evening closure (e.g. around 8 p.m.), and the furniture must be stored each night inside or locked up outside.
- People may order food from the food establishment inside and bring out their food/drinks themselves. They also can order inside and have someone bring out the fare when ready, but there's no order taking, i.e., no waiter service, outside.
- No alcohol can be served.
- Must provide a barrier on the street side, which provides safety from passing traffic.
Don't forget - you must have the support from your local community board with your application and applications are due December 3! For an application and more information please click here.
If you have questions, please contact the Chamber at 212.337.5923.
