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.
It’s a case study in government power going off the rails. It’s amazing actually.
