Two-story outdoor dining structure raising eyebrows in the East Village

EAST VILLAGE, Manhattan (WABC) -- Double is trouble when it comes to 'Open Streets' dining sheds.

The Department of Transportation says it is blocking the completion of a two-tiered dining structure that has raised eyebrows in the East Village.

The shed has been going up in front of Izakaya NYC on East 4th Street.

The city says multi-level outdoor dining structures are simply not allowed under the Open Streets program.
