Following New York Governor Cuomo’s decision to temporarily stop indoor dining in NYC amid the rising number of positive COVID-19 cases, an iconic bar in NYC has announced its plans to close its doors.
The 21 Club, which was one of the most famous speakeasies of the Prohibition Era, temporarily closed down in March after the city became the epicenter of the coronavirus pandemic, the NY Daily News reports.
However, on Friday, a spokesperson for the establishment announced its indefinite closure but claimed the 21 Club would reopen its doors one day.
