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.
