Sidewalk Cafe's Coming Soon to Times Square this Summer

According to the NY Post, beginning this summer, Times Square's pedestrian zones will be transformed into sidewalk cafes, in an attempt to bring more dining options to the area.  A recent propsal request asked for plans in which up to five vendors could serve guests at the 100 tables in the area.

Times Square Alliance President, Tim Tompkins commented: "If you're sitting there, we want you to have the opportunity to get a light beverage or snack. We're constantly thinking about how to make these Broadway plazas a great urban space."

He added, "We want to make it appealing to the people who work for Morgan Stanley, Condé Nast, or the tourists to sit here and have a light snack."

Service and delivery propsals must be in by April 15.
