New York begins to ease bar and restaurant restrictions

BUFFALO, N.Y. Soho Buffalo, with a few exceptions, has been closed since November, when the governor instituted what was at the time a 10 p.m. curfew for bars and restaurants.
This past weekend, owner Jay Manno said he did finally open the doors. The only reason we opened was because I have a dozen or so really good strong employees that I was concerned with losing, Manno said.
He said because a large portion of Soho s business is as a nightclub, it didn t make fiscal sense to stay open even as the curfew moved to 11 p.m. and then midnight. Wednesday, he got news the governor is finally planning to lift it altogether.
Closing time will no longer be a COVID curfew come mid-May
