Here are some of the early details on how indoor dining will look:
Restaurants will be able to reopen at 25 percent capacity, which is half of the 50 percent capacity everywhere else in the state except for NYC.
Masks must be worn at all times except when sitting at a table.
Temperature checks will be required for anyone who enters the restaurant.
One member of each dining party will have to leave their information with the restaurant for contact tracers to reach out in the instance that theres a COVID-19 case.
Restaurants will be required to have enhanced filtration systems installed, though Cuomo did not immediately clarify what this entailed.
Tables will need to be six feet apart.
All restaurants will have to close at midnight.
Every restaurant will be required to post its full capacity outside and provide a phone number to report social distancing violations, either via voice or text.
Cuomo has presently set November 1 as the deadline for New York City to offer indoor dining at half capacity. That will be determined based on health metrics at that time. If infection rates continue to remain low the capacity could be raised before November.
For enforcement, New York will expand the State Liquor Authority and state police task force. The city will ultimately contribute 400 additional code enforcement inspectors, according to Cuomo.

Invest thousands more, if you got it....
So full blown Communist takeover of private business is the rule in NY>
Great use of your State Police Andy. I hope they're coming from your protection force.
Other than the temperature checks and sign-ins for contact tracing sounds just like Pennsylvania....except you can get drinks until midnight.
In PA you’re cut off at 10 PM.
I wonder how many premier NYC chefs have been poached by upscale restaurants in more business friendly states?
A few Saturdays ago Cuomo sent LE out to terrorize over 1,000 businesses statewide on one day.
i was in NYC yesterday for the first time in six months. The city looks beyond depressed. Stores and shops are not just closed, but cleaned out entirely. Either by rioters or owners saying “see ya!!”.
Nothing except McDonalds to grab a quick bite. It was beyond pathetic.
Will patrons be allowed to sit at the same table, or will they all be required to sit 6 away from the table, and take turns sliding forward to take a bite, then slide back?
This chickensh*t madness is really pissing me off.
Folks should read the comments at the link if they get a chance.
Why reopen? They can’t make any money at 25%. They can barely make money at 50%. Do Democrats get some kind of high from destroying businesses?
People expectantly crowd into NYC restaurants opening up.
Then during first meal scowling BLM protestors barge in, play with food, smash plates and glassware on the floor and spray people with mace while denouncing them with a bullhorn in their faces as whites who don’t deserve to live.
“Uh, let’s get carryout pizza next time.” “Yeah.”
I must say, watching New Yorkers get attacked by mobs of BLM while trying to have a meal is going to be hilarious.
Fascinating
Well, see how well that works in The Village...
Yep
Restaurants crawling with rats. How appetizing!
I watch the Cams for Times Square, Broadway, 5th Avenue, etc.
I have never and I mean never seen NYC that dead even at 4 in the morning.
Ill pass, too much hassle.
Do enhanced filters include 12 gauge door screens to keep out alphabetically enabled rabble?
Sitting back to the wall away from the door but with a view of it if venturing out is now so ever more prudent with avoidance being the better.
Face diapers on those who feel the need , like its said wear it it hurts Trump. , spit.
Masks must be worn at all times except when sitting at a table.
