Year-Around Sidewalk Dining in Boston Approved

On Wednesday, the Boston City Council approved year-around sidewalk dining for restaurants within the city, allowing dining spots to be able to decide when they can open their outdoor patio areas. According to the Boston Globe, the vote was unanimous, though restaurant owners will still have to get city permits that allow for outdoor dining. Until now, restaurants could only have sidewalk dining between the months of May and September, according to the Globe.
