Several streets in Nyack were closed late Friday afternoon to allow dining establishments to move tables outside.

If all goes well, village officials may make this a weekly venture.

Business owners say being able to serve more customers during this challenging period could be the difference between staying open and closing for good.

Restaurant owners say they and their staff has been tested for COVID-19 to ensure the safety of their customers.

Village officials are reminding anyone looking to enjoy an outdoor meal to remember to socially distance and to wear a mask.
