Months after it was tabled due to COVID-19, indoor dining is coming back to New York City.

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced on Wednesday that restaurants can resume indoor service on Sept. 30 at 25% capacity and with other safety precautions in place.

“We want to thank New Yorkers for the increase in compliance,” Cuomo said at a press briefing. “And because the compliance has gotten better we can now take the next step.”
