While we&#8217;ve already seen <a href=\"https:\/\/gothamist.com\/food\/photos-pandemic-fatigued-new-yorkers-turn-nyc-into-bourbon-street\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">this kind of activity<\/a> over the past couple of weeks, Phase 2 will bring even more establishments back, officially. As of Monday morning, there have been 3,192 applicants for additional Phase 2 outdoor space, according to the Mayor&#8217;s Office and city&#8217;s Department of Transportation.<\/p>\n<p>So, what&#8217;s the plan to make this transition a safe one? At his Monday morning press briefing, Mayor de Blasio said there wasn&#8217;t a specific plan for enforcing outdoor dining rules, but if someone sees a potentially dangerous scene they should call 311. (It&#8217;s worth noting the mayor also said dog runs could <i>not<\/i> reopen yet because it would be unsafe to &#8220;have a lot of people congregating in a small [outdoor] space.&#8221; It&#8217;s unclear how a dog run is all that different <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/jenist\/status\/1275076447892209667\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">from a small outdoor dining space<\/a>.)<\/p>\n<p>So in the absence of vigilant enforcement from the city, and no requirement for patrons to wear a mask while seated, it&#8217;s up to New Yorkers to drink and dine responsibly. With that in mind, here&#8217;s a guide on how to eat out safely. Or at least <i>safer<\/i>.<\/p>\n<h2>WHAT DOES PHASE 2 DINING LOOK LIKE?<\/h2>\n<p>On paper, <a href=\"https:\/\/gothamist.com\/food\/heres-plan-bring-outdoor-dining-back-nyc\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">the plan<\/a> is to have tables outdoors and spaced six feet apart. In practice, that may not happen everywhere \u2014 some bars and restaurants are still working with the DOT to gain access to outdoor space for a socially distanced set-up, like parking spaces and open streets. However, de Blasio said this <a href=\"https:\/\/gothamist.com\/food\/city-offers-more-details-phase-2-dining-says-open-streets-seating-wont-happen-until-july\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">may not be ironed out until July<\/a>, so until then, some places will be winging it with whatever sidewalk space they have.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s what one more creative bar set up looked like over the weekend:<\/p>\n<figure id=\"ember24951866\" role=\"group\">\n<div id=\"ember24951867\"><picture id=\"ember24951868\">\n<p>  <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"A table shaped like an 6 to keep people standing 6 feet apart on a sidewalk\" height=\"423\" itemprop=\"image\" src=\"https:\/\/cms.prod.nypr.digital\/images\/307432\/fill-634x423\/\" width=\"634\"><\/img>\n<\/picture>\n<\/div><figcaption id=\"ember24951869\">      <span><br \/>\n      <svg viewbox=\"0 0 30 30\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\">\n  <title>Dashed Arrow<\/title>\n  <polygon points=\"18.74 3.12 29.96 14 18.74 24.88 18.74 16.72 15 16.72 15 11.28 18.74 11.28 18.74 3.12\"><\/polygon>\n  <rect height=\"5.44\" width=\"5.44\" x=\"8.2\" y=\"11.28\"><\/rect>\n  <rect height=\"5.44\" width=\"2.72\" x=\"4.12\" y=\"11.28\"><\/rect>\n  <rect height=\"5.44\" width=\"2.72\" x=\"0.04\" y=\"11.28\"><\/rect>\n<\/svg><\/p>\n<p>  <\/span><\/p>\n<div>\n<p><span><br \/>\n      Here&#8217;s how one place is handing their outdoor bar set-up.<br \/>\n    <\/span><\/p>\n<p>    <span><br \/>\n        <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/scoboco\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"><br \/>\n          Scott Lynch \/ Gothamist<br \/>\n        <\/a><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>HOW YOU CAN BE A GOOD PHASE 2 PATRON<\/h2>\n<p>You play an important role in how this pandemic plays out.

He told us, &#8220;Dining outdoors with social distancing should be about as safe as is humanly possible for dining, according to our best evidence so far.\u00a0Is it safer with a mask?\u00a0Very likely. How much safer?\u00a0We don\u2019t know. But outdoors with good social distancing reduces risk considerably, not wearing masks probably would not increase risk significantly for those at tables 6 feet away.<\/p>\n<p>There is some discussion about the relative importance of \u00a0masks vs. social distancing.\u00a0We <i>do<\/i> know that being outdoors is far safer than indoors, and distancing is one key to further reducing risk.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He added that masks and distancing aren&#8217;t the only recommendations, however, &#8220;Don\u2019t forget hand hygiene. Many of us now do this routinely before eating anyway (outside I\u2019m assuming it will be hand sanitizer, which will give the area around the restaurant a nice boozy aura.).\u00a0At each table, of course, the guests will have to trust each other.\u00a0 It\u2019s a different matter for the servers, who will be exposed to many patrons and, if they become infected, could also spread the infection.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Again, Morse stressed, all we really now is that outdoors is the safest bet right now, aside from staying at home. &#8220;Outdoors is clearly safer, as we saw from the outcome of the recent Black Lives Matter marches \u2014 as of now, it seems there were few if any new cases resulting from those events. But the staff should still take all the precautions, including masks (uncomfortable as they are in the summer) when near other people (employees or diners).&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>As for the bathroom situation, he says, &#8220;You should wear your mask whenever you go indoors.&#8221;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"ember24951888\" role=\"group\">\n<div id=\"ember24951889\"><picture id=\"ember24951890\">\n<p>  <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Groups of people unmasked outside of a bar\" height=\"423\" itemprop=\"image\" src=\"https:\/\/cms.prod.nypr.digital\/images\/307435\/fill-634x423\/\" width=\"634\"><\/img>\n<\/picture>\n<\/div><figcaption id=\"ember24951891\">      <span><br \/>\n      <svg viewbox=\"0 0 30 30\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\">\n  <title>Dashed Arrow<\/title>\n  <polygon points=\"18.74 3.12 29.96 14 18.74 24.88 18.74 16.72 15 16.72 15 11.28 18.74 11.28 18.74 3.12\"><\/polygon>\n  <rect height=\"5.44\" width=\"5.44\" x=\"8.2\" y=\"11.28\"><\/rect>\n  <rect height=\"5.44\" width=\"2.72\" x=\"4.12\" y=\"11.28\"><\/rect>\n  <rect height=\"5.44\" width=\"2.72\" x=\"0.04\" y=\"11.28\"><\/rect>\n<\/svg><\/p>\n<p>  <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><br \/>\n      Hardly any masks or social distancing happening at this bar on June 20th.<br \/>\n    <\/span><\/p>\n<p>    <span><br \/>\n        <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/scoboco\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"><br \/>\n          Scott Lynch \/ Gothamist<br \/>\n        <\/a><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>If positive COVID-19 cases don&#8217;t spike (<a href=\"https:\/\/gothamist.com\/news\/coronavirus-statistics-tracking-epidemic-new-york\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">keep an eye on the numbers<\/a>) then we could be entering <a href=\"https:\/\/gothamist.com\/news\/guide-new-york-city-reopening-phases\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Phase 3 of reopening<\/a> in just two weeks, which would bring the return of indoor dining at reduced capacity.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/gothamist.com\/food\/guide-phase-2-outdoor-dining-rules-etiquette-advice-epidemiologist\" class=\"button purchase\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We&#8217;re now in Phase 2 of our reopening in NYC, and with current testing showing the infection rate holding at 1.5%, we can now dine and drink outdoors, with certain restrictions.
