Ulster County Executive Pat Ryan joined County Executives in the seven counties that make up the Mid-Hudson Region on Wednesday to call upon the New York State Liquor Authority to allow restaurants to stay open until midnight.
Currently, in order to comply with the 10 p.m. curfew restriction, restaurants must stop seating patrons at 8:30 p.m, according to Ryan. The adjusted hours will be a benefit to restaurants struggling during the traditionally slower winter months and restaurant workers.
Only 1.4 percent of COVID-19 cases have been attributed to restaurants and bars, officials say.
