Poconos restaurateurs and industry workers are eagerly awaiting a major move forward as mitigation restrictions are set to be lifted this Memorial Day. Following the announcement that temporary capacity limits on all businesses will be lifted at 12:01 a.m. May 31, restaurant industry owners are ready to get back to work at full steam. Trip Ruvane, co-founder and owner of Barley Creek Brewing Company in Tannersville, and president of the northeast chapter of the Pennsylvania Restaurant and Lodging Association, said the announcement was welcome news after months of targeted regulations, quick shutdowns and large losses in the restaurant world. “If this industry can back to a semblance of normalcy — and that means people are comfortable going out, there's a lot of demand to get out of the house and get back to some sort of, you know, take a deep breath and have some fun — I think that will solve a lot of the financial pressures that we’ve been under,” Ruvane said.
