So the next time someone asks if you trust your government...
Man that guy is a piece of work isn’t he.
Just serve the drinks on a coaster, single slice of wonder bread. Call it an open faced Mai Tai...
He says that soup is allowed. So buy some bulk chicken or beef broth and serve a “cup” for a dollar.
Thanks - there is so much bullshyte from progressive central planners, one forgets all the instances of smaller transgressions and stupidity.
yes, I remember in 2020 wife and I were at an outdoor wine-tasting. The waitress had us all select a bag of chips/nuts from a basket - so we were deemed to have “ordered” food, and they were in compliance with the asinine NY State rules on eating while drinking.
“sandwiches, soups or other foods, whether fresh, processed, precooked or frozen,” do pass muster.
They love to micro control, because they are communists, and that’s what communists do. They were put into office to turn this country communist, with money from soros, and that is their goal.
The purpose of the laws is to make you miserable.
Not exactly what the country was founded upon, but we are now at the point where the Powerful people just get their jollies by hurting those who are beneath them.
Our local bar keeper went out and bought a Hot Plate and large pan - he boils hot dogs - that counts as food. But he cannot give the Hot Dogs away for free so he charges a dime. NY State is crazy.
“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.
“Other foods,” according to the SLA, “are foods which are similar in quality and substance to sandwiches and soups; for example, salads, wings, or hotdogs would be of that quality and substance.”
“However,” the guidance says, “a bag of chips, bowl of nuts, or candy alone are not.”
THIS is what happens when liberals control things. It is comical that there are bureaucrats that sit down and micromanage these regulations.
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.
I knew a fellow who managed a punk rock club in NYC in the late ‘70s/early ‘80s. Even then, NYC was coming down hardon clubs that didn’t serve food. After a warning, when the inspector came, he opened his refrigerator, showed a loaf of bread and a package of Swiss Cheese, handing him a menu:
“Le Swiss Cheese Sandwich: $7.00”
That was enough.
the bar just put out a crockpot of hotdogs, you paid a buck...
Why are we posting old news? News has a 48-hour window to be effective, anything later than that - DOA. Unless you trying to make some sort of Archive of news so it can be deleted.
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...
Peanut butter cheese crackers are sandwiches.
A local cigar lounge adds them as “apps” to your bill.
But...but...BUT I LIKE CHIPS! Why can’t I buy some?
