Daniel
Daniel Boulud has long offered outdoor seating at several of his restaurants. Now, in compliance with the virus-control regulations, he has added it to his flagship, Daniel on the Upper East Side, for the first time. There are socially distant seats for about 35 diners along East 65th Street, most of them under the generous canopy. The menu is the same as his home-delivery menu at Daniel Boulud Kitchen, a service that began shortly after the lockdown rules went into effect. The outdoor tables are served from 5 to 9 p.m., Tuesdays through Saturdays, no reservations.

DeKalb Open-Air Market
There’s a new alternative to the sprawling indoor DeKalb Market Hall in Downtown Brooklyn: an outdoor market where a dozen of the hall’s food vendors are now stationed, Monday to Friday, through Oct. 7. And there’s more to come. Among the temptations are offerings from Katz’s Delicatessen, Jiangbing’s Chinese street food, Kotti Donor’s kebabs, Pierogi Boys dumplings and Likkle More Jerk for Caribbean jerk chicken. As part of the project, there’s Craft & Carry’s Beer Garden, with suds from local brewers and seats at socially distant tables, which are also open to people getting food from the market.
