Gov. Andrew Cuomo has made it even harder for cash-strapped watering holes and restaurants to churn back to life — by declaring that a bag of chips is no longer enough to comply with the requirement that they serve food with booze.
His State Liquor Authority reversed course with that revised edict posted late Tuesday, which requires they sell more substantial food with alcoholic drinks to be in compliance with the recent executive order.
Cuomo last Thursday issued that rule, as well as a statewide ban on walk-up bar service, as part of his crackdown on violations of social-distancing rules.
According to the new SLA guidance, a bag of chips or nuts does not meet the food requirement, but “sandwiches, soups or other foods, whether fresh, processed, precooked or frozen,” do pass muster.

Short memories.
Ummm, the unelected jackass Hokul or Ho Kill or whatever is even worse. Who thought it possible. Tried to books ski trip this weekend in NYS. My bad. Have to have this card and this mask and we can only sell so many tickets and we don’t have staff and blah blah blah. By the fifth requirement I tuned out.
Good thing they are worried about this instead of murders, rapes, car jackings, smash & grabs, stabbings, drugs, assaults, etc,etc,etc,etc...
““sandwiches, soups or other foods, whether fresh, processed, precooked or frozen,” do pass muster.”
2 ritz crackers with a piece of cheese in the middle then?
New York is closed to business.
That is what incentivizes government insanity.
Peanut butter cheese crackers are sandwiches.
A local cigar lounge adds them as “apps” to your bill.
I remember reading about that. Government overreach is the mother of invention
But...but...BUT I LIKE CHIPS! Why can’t I buy some?
A few years back I used to frequent a nearby pub for Monday Night and Thursday Night Football, because they did a little buffet, usually Buffalo Wings and some sort of pasta dish. They also had a hot dog pushcart in the corner at which you could help yourself to tasty dirty-water dogs, rolls and kraut if you wanted it. The place was sold; upgraded; food's great but the buffet's gone. Still stop for wings now and again, same kitchen staff making 'em.
beer, dogs and kraut...
