Faculty and students are guinea pigs for the city's indoor dining policy

Eater

 Mayor Bill de Blasio confirmed Thursday what some NYC restaurant owners have suspected all along: A return to indoor dining is contingent on how the city’s schools perform when they reopen on September 10.

When a reporter pointed out to the mayor again Thursday that a return to indoor dining had been postponed indefinitely, de Blasio was more measured in his response than earlier in the week when he indicated that indoor dining might not return until next year.

“As more and more people come back to work, as schools begin, you know, we’ll get to see a lot about what our long-term health picture looks like, and that’s going to help inform our decisions going forward,” said de Blasio referring to the administration’s wait and watch approach on making a decision on indoor dining.

While the rest of the state has allowed indoor dining to proceed at half capacity for the last two months, New York City restauranteurs have been waiting indefinitely, despite the fact that the city has largely brought the spread of the COVID-19 largely under control. Still, New York leaders like de Blasio and Gov. Andrew Cuomo have expressed concern due to the city’s density and population. 

The Blaz is a sick mofo.

I don't know why New Yorker's need permission from a politician they elected, to do what they want to do, under their Constitutional Rights. What a bunch of sheep!

Why this mania on dining.

So much other parts of NYC are melting away and no comment or notice is made.

Who the hell wants to be in a room with people that could we sick. Who the hell has money to burn in restaurants if you do not know your paycheck next month.

Does the cleaning of cash by the food industry that important to the economy of the city?

Mania on dining? They provide jobs to a lot of Latinos. I don’t want my neighborhood restaurants that have been around for decades go under.

Of course the food industry is important to the economy. You think application developers are more important writing code for phone apps like Candy Crush is more important?

Cuomo and his SLA goons are out of control with their enforcement on restaurants serving liquor.

Someone needs to slap Cuomo and his SLA thugs upside the head with the 8th Amendment

Some QC readers won’t need to Google the 8th

Are those outdoor restaurants permanently blocking streets? What are we going to do in a blizzard and the trucks need to get the snow off the street?

No worries, the patrons will thaw out in the spring.
