The New York State Legislature for the first time rescinded some of Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s restrictions that were put in place because of the COVID-19 pandemic, including an unpopular rule that prohibited bars and restaurants from serving alcohol unless the customer also ordered food.
Lawmakers said with the infection rate going down and vaccinations increasing, the restrictions are no longer needed. Cuomo said he was planning to end the orders anyway.
The Legislature voted to end an executive order that gave rise to the term “Cuomo chips” because bars and restaurants were not allowed to serve alcoholic drinks unless the customer also agreed to buy at least a small amount of food.
