An emergency order has been issued to expand outdoor dining in Southampton.

The move will allow restaurants to serve more customers on the sidewalk.
Business owners hope the new space will attract more business.

"People enjoy it," says 75 Main owner Zach Erdem. "It seems fun, and everyone is like people want to be far away from each other; so I think it's a great way to do business at this time."

Town leaders are reminding people to keep a safe distance even when they are outside.
