New Yorkers could again buy takeout cocktails at restaurants and bars under a proposal Gov. Kathy Hochul boosted Wednesday, though state regulators could end up limiting how much alcohol patrons could buy and when.
Restaurant and bar owners have urged Hochul to reinstitute the sale of to-go alcoholic drinks, which the state temporarily authorized at the pandemic's onset. The policy proved popular with customers, but ended in late June 2021.
