NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio is pushing to have the entire city — including restaurants and bars — fully reopen this summer.
“Our plan is to fully reopen New York City on July 1st. We are ready for stores to open, for businesses to open, offices, theaters, full strength,” de Blasio said during a Thursday appearance on MSNBC’s Morning Joe, pointing to the state’s progress in distributing vaccines. The mayor clarified in a Thursday press conference that the reopening plans include a full comeback for restaurants and bars.
“This is going to be the summer of New York City,” de Blasio said.
