New York Governor Kathy Hochul wants to permanently legalize the sale of cocktails to-go as part of a small business recovery plan outlined in her first state of the state address Wednesday afternoon.
“Thousands of bars and restaurants, the souls of our neighborhoods, have had to close,” Hochul said. “We're also going to do something bars and restaurants have been asking for; to once again allow the sale of to-go drinks — a critical revenue stream during the lean times last year.”
Do they still have the rules in place that to order a drink at an outdoor dining corral you need to also order food? If so, that they should get rid of. 2nd avenue in the low 80's was a running block party on nice afternoons with everyone out drinking.
BTW, I voted yes in the poll. It's not that I oppose to go drinks. I just think there are better things the legiscritters could spend their time on.
Awful decision by Hochul and the city council. Airline fights are at an all time high largely due to idiots and their alcohol. And with all of the crime plaguing the city, how does this help?
