Williamsburg Italian Hit Lilia Has Reopened for Outdoor Dining | Eater NY

"Reopened over the weekend with outdoor dining, Lilia — the acclaimed Italian restaurant from chef Missy Robbins — is already booked up for several weeks, according to reservation app Resy. The restaurant initially shut down in March following the state-mandated closure on dining in; it reopened last week with a takeout window serving breakfast sandwiches, pastries, and coffee, and later announced it would return for outdoor dining service. For now the restaurant is open Wednesday through Sunday from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m., and the takeout window is open daily from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Co-owner Sean Feeney came under fire in May for reportedly downplaying the severity of the COVID-19 crisis in an email to staffers and drew criticism after telling President Donald Trump during a restaurant roundtable that “we view you as one of us,” but those controversies don’t seem to have impacted the restaurant’s popularity." - Tanay Warerkar
