As the city filed it

Since the beginning of the pandemic, local restaurants have been significantly impacted by the limitations on indoor public dining. CafeTO and outdoor dining opportunities have been a lifeline to keep small establishments in business. As restaurants navigate this time of re-opening, the establishment at 1792 Danforth Avenue is again applying for a sidewalk café permit, including to formalize a long existing deck patio for the upcoming outdoor dining season.
