The restaurant is operated under a concession license agreement administered by NYC Parks. They say they have not been charging monthly license fees during the pandemic-driven closure.
A representative with the Boathouse said they have been in talks with the city and intend to reopen next spring in April of 2021.
They say ongoing discussions are taking place with NYC officials to figure out how the Boathouse can safely reopen and rehire the 175 employees that were laid off.
The famed restaurant is known for its rowboats that can be rented to explore the lake.
According to its website, the Loeb Boathouse is the only Manhattan venue right on a lake.
