ALBANY - You will no longer need to buy food if you go to a bar for a drink in New York.
A COVID-19 regulation in New York that required food purchases at bars and restaurants to limit mingling amid the pandemic is set to be lifted Wednesday by the state Legislature.
Legislative leaders announced Tuesday they will end the practice that Gov. Andrew Cuomo installed in July that required bars and restaurants to sell food to patrons if they were buying drinks.
Business owners have long railed against Cuomo s mandate, saying it was burdensome and unnecessary. Some bars mocked the measure, including one in Saratoga that sold Cuomo Chips for $1 to meet the edict.
