Adams to Demand Higher Capacity
Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams will join City Council Member Ydanis Rodriguez (D-Manhattan) along with restaurant owners and workers to demand the State set out a clear timeline to allow indoor dining to re-open at 50 percent capacity, and extend their hours to midnight, as soon as possible.
The call comes as restaurants prepare to re-open for indoor dining at 25 percent capacity, with a curfew of 10 PM, this Friday, February 12th. Borough President Adams and others at the rally will denounce the City and State’s inadequate response to their industry’s severe economic struggles and urge greater relief measures to keep food service establishments afloat during and after the pandemic.
This event is slated to take place at 12:20 p.m. today, Feb. 11, Outside Balboa Restaurant – 1655 Bedford Avenue in Crown Heights.
