Governor Cuomo has announced that localities may add restaurant workers, taxi drivers, and those at facilities for the developmentally disabled to the Phase 1b vaccine prioritization group.
Governor Cuomo has announced that indoor dining reopens Friday at 25% capacity. However, 74 NYC restaurants have filed an emergency motion demanding that they be allowed to reopen at a minimum of 50% capacity. This latest action is part of the existing lawsuit against Governor Cuomo and Mayor de Blasio, which noted that the industry was subjected to unpredictable regulations subjecting the restaurant industry to significant financial difficulties.
Store owners already challenged by COVID-19 regulations and the resulting lockdowns and other onerous regulations have an additional hurdle to overcome: the increased presence of street vendors, many of whom are illegal.
There are as many as 20,000 street vendors in New York City.
The New York City Council has just passed legislation, Intro 1116, that lifts the permit cap by 4,000.
Brick and mortar stores become a fabric of their communities in a way that transient vendors do not. They contribute to the permanent improvement of neighborhoods and provide employment opportunities, all at significant expense and risk to owners.

Due to the pandemic, New York restaurants are once again shut down for inside dining. This is destroying restaurants where many may not be reopening.
Many of them are investing money and revamping their outside dining with tents, enclosures, heating systems etc.
We will be checking out all our Winter dining options starting in the Bronx.
Bewski’s has a huge area in the back of their restaurant that usually is used for big events from St. Patrick’s day to Oktoberfest, or the big game! The owner Albi put in a forced heated air system to keep diners nice and warm while they enjoy their amazing menu, craft beers and full bar.
We started with soups, French onion soup and the soup of the day, Chorizo lentil soup which was flavorful and hearty.
Our entrees were one of their delicious burgers with fries and the other was a decadent braised Angus short rib, creamy fontina cheese, fig jam & pickled red onions on San Francisco sourdough bread sandwich with truffle fries. Talk about an addictive sandwich!
Their menu has an awesome variety to choose from and if you are having delivery or take out don’t forget their completely mobile Quarantini or Quaranfreezie to make it complete.
Whether you dine at their outside tent, get delivery or take-out, please support our restaurants.
Brewski’s is completely COVID COMPLIANT with temperature check and contact info at door, social distanced tables, employees in masks, menus online, and disposable utensils and dishware and sanitizing stations.
The Throggs Neck BID has joined other Bronx BIDs in opposing plans for a dramatic increase in street vendor permits. The measure is expected to vote tomorrow on the bill.
The legislation that would more than double the number of street vendor permits, creating 4,000 new sidewalk and street food-selling permits by 2032. These are in addition to 3,000 currently issued by the health department. Mayor de Blasio supports the measure.
