Turn out the lights, the party’s over.
“Nightclubs, movie theaters, small theater houses, and concert venues must all close,” Mayor Bill De Blasio announced Sunday night. “The virus can spread rapidly through the close interactions New Yorkers have in restaurants, bars and places where we sit close together. We have to break that cycle. Tomorrow, I will sign an Executive Order limiting restaurants, bars and cafes to food take-out and delivery.”
So they are going to let the mega-supermarkets and department stores to remain open, but they are going to close the small mom-and-pop diners? That makes absolutely no sense.
“Sad moment for our city but necessary,” NYC Council Speaker Corey Johnson said.
Restaurants, bars and cafes will only be allowed to provide take-out and delivery. In other words, if you want a slice of cheesecake from Juniors — you’ll have to get it to go.
Folks, we are very close to martial law in America. Very close.
