Outside diners enjoy food and drink at the Lake Placid Pub and Brewery on March 22. (News photo Andy Flynn) New York is loosening several COVID-19 regulations on bars setting end dates for a midnight curfew and a requirement that food must be purchased with alcohol. Some local bar owners reacted with a mix of excitement and ambivalence. The food requirement with an alcoholic drink were lifted Wednesday, April 28. This is commonly referred to as “bar seating.” The midnight curfew, which also applied to restaurants, will be lifted May 17 for outdoor areas and May 31 for indoor areas. “I think that everybody in the hospitality business is beyond excited that the food requirement is finally going to be dropped,” said Chris Ericson, co-owner of the Lake Placid Pub and Brewery and Big Slide Brewery, both in Lake Placid. “It’s nice that rational minds seem to be winning the day with this one.”

LAKE PLACID It’s been almost two years since officials at the Regional Office of Sustainable Tourism proposed using an extra 2% of Essex County’s occupancy tax for community development. And now for the town of North Elba, at least they are ready to explain how the program will be implemented in 2021.
