Gov. Phil Murphy said eateries can operate at 25 percent capacity with social distancing between tables beginning Friday, Sept. 4.
The news comes nearly a week after the governor announced gyms can reopen Sept. 1.
"Reopening responsibly will help us restore one of our state’s key industries while continuing to make progress against COVID-19," Murphy said.
More information was expected to come during Monday's COVID-19 briefing.
