LARCHMONT, NY (October 4, 2023) — The Village of Larchmont has announced updates to its outdoor dining program for 2026, allowing restaurants and merchants to apply for year-round sidewalk dining permits. This initiative demonstrates the Village’s commitment to supporting local businesses while ensuring public safety and accessibility.
The decision to allow year-round sidewalk dining was made after evaluating past successes, community feedback, and the needs of local businesses. The Village believes this update will enhance the vibrancy of commercial areas and provide more dining options to residents and visitors.
While year-round sidewalk dining will be permitted, the Village has decided to discontinue on-street dining in parking spaces. This measure aims to prioritize the safety of both dining patrons and motorists.
Business establishments can now apply for a “Public Space Use Permit” online at www.larchmontny.gov/outdoordining and begin using sidewalk spaces once they receive their permits. Additional guidelines and requirements are available on the website, and businesses are encouraged to review these materials and submit their applications.
