New York City is still a long way off reopening its restaurants and bars. 
In a phone call with some of New York City’s top independent restaurants, Mayor Bill de Blasio mentioned potentially reopening the city’s restaurants in three stages, culminating in a full reopening after Labor Day — a decision that could be made in conjunction with the potential reopening of the city’s public schools.
De Blasio didn’t provide specific dates or outline what each phase might entail, according to restaurateurs on the call, but Amanda Cohen of Dirt Candy and Roni Mazumdar, the owner of Adda and Rahi, say the inference was that restaurant capacity would start off limited and gradually make its way to a fuller opening in the fall.
More than a dozen of the city’s well-known independent restaurants and bars were on the call to voice concerns, including Olmsted, Golden Diner, Russ & Daughters, Katz’s, and Leyenda.
