New York City will allow indoor dining at restaurants at a limited capacity starting Sept. 30, New York Gov. Indoor dining had been one of the few remaining business activities awaiting approval to resume since the city began a phased reopening of its economy in June. While restaurants have been able to offer takeout and serve customers outdoors, the industry has struggled to make ends meet without the ability to offer indoor seating. The governor said the city is now able to restart indoor dining since compliance with distancing restrictions by bars and restaurants increased to more than 99%. “There’s a whole industry around restaurants, and restaurants also pose a possible risk,” Mr. Cuomo said.
