Well, NYC bars actually can reopen along with the restaurants during Phase 3. Will there be crowds the way it once was? Not until full capacity is allowed. The Mayor says full bar capacity probably wont happen until around Labor Day, but with increased capacity limits throughout the summer. True, many bars wont last because it costs them more to stay open with capacity limits. Some of the bars are allowing take outs now, which could help them stay afloat.
"People are so impatient, wait until winter gets here and so many people will regret dearly
for their impatience. This is the new norm and trying to overcome it by going back to old
habits isn't going to get better. Taking a risk and going out for a drink with random people
in an enclosed room talking, chatting, and hanging around for awhile is very risky especially
at the epicenter of this pandemic."
No thanks. Won't go. Not even the swankiest bar/restaurant with:
free appetizers
a free pitcher of beer
Ladies Night...
…and Chippendale dancers….
I’ll eventually get to that 1 beer I have in fridge….(Presidente)….

They're still in the denial stage of grief.
Although soon enough the virus will be a secondary concern to the incoming Economic apocalypse.
I know lots of bar owners in the area. They are freaking out. A good friend of mine opened up a bar on Long Island last Summer and was killing it. He's 45 and put all of his money into that place and now it's gone. And it ain't coming back. Bars/clubs/restaurants can't hang in long enough for a vaccine.
I'm with you. I've been planning on leaving NY for years and this probably is the final nail in my coffin. NYC is damn useless if you can't enjoy going out. I can sit inside and watch TV in any state in the country and for a hella of lot cheaper.
Since I'm stuck here for various reasons, it would be great if more people leave.
And yeah people need to see what David Chang said about this. Eventually restaurants and bars can come back, but you're probably talking 2030ish.
In-between that I'd like to get in the real estate market and sell around 2045 and hopefully make a big gain selling to Gen Z.

Many that laughed at this earlier regret it big time now and many more will soon enough
