Bars
and restaurants are now allowed to stay open a little bit later.
Gov.
Andrew Cuomo extended the curfew for eating at restaurants from 11 p.m. to 12
a.m. starting Monday. After 11 p.m., restaurants previously had to adapt to only allowing takeout and
pickup.
Catered
events are also now able to keep going until 1 a.m.
Those
eating inside bars or restaurants are still required to order food if they are
drinking alcohol, and to wear a mask when entering the eatery.
The
Hospitality Alliance has been pushing for this change to help owners with their
financial challenge.
