San Francisco City Hall

When Will SF Allow Outdoor Dining? Mayor Breed Says “We Have No Control” Over Restrictions | Eater SF

"In front of San Francisco City Hall I witnessed a crew of roughly 40 masked and unmasked people — many saying they worked at local restaurants — gather in Civic Center on Monday to demand the reopening of outdoor dining, carrying signs like “False Evidence Appearing Real” and “No Data No Science No Work No Help.” Organizers included bartender Giovanni Cincotta, who said, “I’m the best bartender I know and I can’t do my job,” and described sitting in his room and crying while his son wonders why, and bar owner Johnny Metheny, who has filed a lawsuit seeking refunds for permits and other fees and warned that “San Francisco was the restaurant hub of the world and it’s going to lose that.”" - Eve Batey
