New Yorkers are _very_ resourceful, and I would expect to see hundreds of black market restaurants/bars in the basements of buildings during the winter.
Word of mouth will get the customers, and organized crime will give “protection” and pay off the cops.
You thought of speak-easies also, eh?
Maybe that is what Cuomo wants==that NY’ers pay HIM protection money to open . He is Mafia after all, Pelosi too.
