After being closed for more than two months and then re-opening at just 50 percent of capacity, the restaurant industry has been struggling. The newly-expanded outdoor dining isn’t just a much-needed boon for diners it’s also going to help restaurants survive. “About a dozen of the current restaurants will be expanding their patios.” “We are so excited about the possibilities this opens up for our tenants and visitors to the Square,” says Jon Buerge, Chief Development Officer at Larimer Square developer Urban Villages. Multiple areas, including Larimer Square, Union Station, and Denver Pavilions, were given the go-ahead to close streets to cars, essentially turning the avenues into giant, open-air dining rooms. Thanks to an initiative by the City and County of Denver, restaurants have been allowed to spread out into public spaces, making it possible for more people to dine safely - socially distanced and masked, of course. Summer of 2020 will be known for many things, but one of the more positive things will be the summer of dining al fresco. If you’re ready to eat out (literally), restaurants have new optionsīy now you’ve probably noticed the tables and chairs popping up in odd places - sidewalks, parking lots, lawns, even in the middle of streets.
