NYS Assemblymember David Weprin to hold press conference Tuesday

Rallying Outside of Atlantic Diner, Elected Officials, Restaurant Owners, and Advocates Demand New York City Permits Limited Capacity Indoor Dining

What:   This press conference is to demand that New York City give mom-and-pop owned restaurants a fighting chance by permitting “limited capacity indoor dining”. With the exception of New York City, restaurants throughout the state embraced the Governor’s plan of “limited capacity indoor dining”. if one crosses the Queens-Nassau County boarder, restaurants are permitted to do limited capacity indoor dining, along with outdoor dining. As a result, mom-and-pop owned restaurants in New York City, whom have been serving their communities for many years, are suffering and are at serious financial risk.
