Restaurants That Sued Cuomo Must Close at 10 pm [List]
Bad news for the restaurants that sued New York State and Governor Cuomo to stay open past 10 pm. Today, Wednesday, February 10, 2021, an appellate judge shut down the 90 WNY restaurants, literally. The restaurants were temporarily allowed to stay open past 10 pm, but now they must close at 10 pm, according to Channel 4. Appellate Division Justice Patrick NeMoyer made the decision, but there will be another hearing on Tuesday.
According to WIVB, the decision affects plenty of Valentine's Day plans for this weekend. Brandon Carr, the owner of the Quarter said,
“I have reservations already booked up for the entire weekend. We were taking later reservations, because it’s a holiday weekend, up until midnight. We have purchased so much specialty food that we were going to be using for these Valentine’s Day dinners. I’m going to have to call and cancel, and try to move around as many as possible to see if we can fit them into certain windows.”
