A new year, and the fight over outdoor dining between North End restaurant owners and the city is back on the menu.The North End Chamber of Commerce and restaurateurs who own 21 North End establishments filed a lawsuit against the city in federal court this week, continuing to argue that officials showed “unequal, unfair, and discriminatory treatment” against them the past two outdoor dining seasons.In 2022, officials forced restaurateurs to pay a $7,500 fee for outdoor dining operations, while in 2023, the city banned the option entirely.
