There are more calls to make selling to-go cocktails permanent in New York, but opponents say not so fast. AndreaGrymesTV reports.
Supporters are pushing to get the measure included in the state budget, due next week. But opponents say not so fast. , co-owner Garnett Phillip is hoping the state shakes up the rules when it comes to selling her signature cocktails. Phillip opened the bar in July 2020, during the pandemic.
"To have this to go option back for us would be amazing. Trust me, I would've done way better this winter, and I wouldn't have struggled the way I struggled if that was an option," Phillip said. Friday night, Phillip hosted New York City Public Advocate Jumaane Williams, who is running for governor, and others who support Hochul's plan.
"I'm worried right now because I think some other issues are getting a lot more attention. We want this issue to get attention. This is the issue so many people agree on," Williams said.
