Starting next week, restaurants and bars can stay open one hour later, but must continue to comply with COVID-19 restrictions such as limiting capacity, and requiring customers to purchase food with drinks.
“We are going to extend the 11 p.m. curfew for food and beverage to midnight. That will go into effect this Monday, April 19,” Governor Andrew Cuomo said at the briefing.
But critics say the rules don’t seem to be based on any sound science.
The Democratic state egislature has the ability to overturn the governor’s curfew, but has shown no interest in doing so. Drat.
The Dems would probably make the rules more strict if anything
Could you sit AT the bar? No. We want to sit AT the bar.
"Barside seating will prohibited at all hours."
True. It wasn't so bad though. The bar we went to had tables of 4-6 set up throughout the open area that constitutes the entire place. It's definitely not a set up that works for sitting alone at a bar like in the old days, but it works for groups.
Did you guys know ill duce Cuomo all of last year when he shut down all the restaurants in NYC secretly went to open restaurants in NJ with a small entourage??? i know a couple people that worked in one them and they were WARN NOT TO PICS WITH THEIR PHONES!! By the owner!! They since moved to FL and regretted not taken one despite what the owner said!!

I would've snapped a picture and sent them to someone else to post
With pool halls being no curfew, this is all a joke. Cuomo doesn't even know what he's doing. Hell, they should take this opportunity to allow 24/7 if places so choose like I've seen in other countries.
