Folks should read the comments at the link if they get a chance.
Yep
I just did. Sounds like many of the restaurant owners are suffering from Stockholm Syndrome. Groveling to, and thanking, Cuomo and Wilhelm for the few crumbs tossed their way? Any sympathy I had for them has just melted away. Since NYC has become a ghost town, I doubt whether they will fill their tables even at 25%.
Here’s a comment at the link I “get” (some of them are delusional).

This absolutely pointless
Between the new rules that nobody will follow to the T and when outdoor dining is done another 1000 restaurants will close
So my restaurant has 40 seats including the bar
So take that away
Now I have 32 seats
That leaves me with 8 people
I have double that outside and then some A-hole inspector pulls my liquor
license for some perceived infraction and between the fine and a lawyer it costs me 15 k to get it back
I am running a cash only business so NY GETS ZERO TAXES
So I am planning on closing permanently when the weather gets cold. My landlord is getting screwed but TOO BAD
I am also leaving the state
Goodbye fucko
