This guy is allegedly killing old people and abusing women and putting small businesses out of business. One can only hope that the legislature will over ride this ridiculous "emergency" dictate.
To Evade Pre-Prohibition Drinking Laws, New Yorkers Created the World's Worst Sandwich
Near the end of the 19th century, New Yorkers out for a drink partook in one of the more unusual rituals in the annals of hospitality. When they ordered an ale or whisky, the waiter or bartender would bring it out with a sandwich. Generally speaking, the sandwich was not edible. It was “an old desiccated ruin of dust-laden bread and mummified ham or cheese,” wrote the playwright Eugene O’Neill. Other times it was made of rubber. Bar staff would commonly take the sandwich back seconds after it had arrived, pair it with the next beverage order, and whisk it over to another patron’s table. Some sandwiches were kept in circulation for a week or more.
Bar owners insisted on this bizarre charade to avoid breaking the law—specifically, the excise law of 1896, which restricted how and when drinks could be served in New York State. The so-called Raines Law was a combination of good intentions, unstated prejudices, and unforeseen consequences, among them the comically unsavory Raines sandwich.

Interesting, so NY is doing the same stupid stuff over and over again, yep, I can believe that.
I can't believe they are still playing these stupid games.
New Yorkers have been happy and content eating “shit sandwiches” for years judging by the politicians they elect.
I wonder if they had food at the drunken get together that evolved into this mandate?
Many of us are being "force fed".
“Well drinks free with each bag of $6 potato chips.”
Chips don’t qualify
Please: NO profanity,
Chemung County reports multiple COVID-19 violations by businesses over the weekend
That's a red county, BTW. NYS GOP is an acronymic oxymoron.
BTW, while the county is having a hissy about mask enforcement, problems like joblessness, rising crime, and drug abuse continue unabated.
If NYSers are so happy, why has the state lost almost half its House seats over the last 60 years, hmmmmm?
Crazy, I thought I heard that NY would relax some of this crap on 4/1.
