The low-key kickoff marked the start of the first full season for the open-air dining plaza downtown since 2021. The 2022 edition was delayed until late July by a massive streetscape project.

With plans for more kids’ and community activities in available space, as well as an alcohol-free dining tent to aid restaurants located outside Broadwalk, this year’s season – the fourth for the pandemic-born venture – is set to end September 30, unless extended by the borough council.

Meantime, except for maybe Saturday, the weather in coming days appears conducive to outdoor lunching and… dinnering. Here’s the National Weather Service forecast:

Wednesday
Sunny, with a high near 67. North wind around 15 mph.
Wednesday Night
Clear, with a low around 45. Northeast wind around 10 mph.
Thursday
Sunny, with a high near 60. Northeast wind 5 to 10 mph becoming southeast in the afternoon.
