When will these iconic NYC restaurants reopen their doors?
NY Post
Many of the city’s most popular restaurants have reopened for indoor dining at 50 percent capacity, but the magic has yet to reach some wonderful and/or iconic places that remain depressingly dark inside and out.
Certain famed eateries say they can’t afford to open until full capacity is restored — which could be a long time coming, given Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s slow pace of reopening. There’s an 11 p.m. restaurant curfew — it pushes back to midnight on Monday — and a rule against serving drinks at the bar. Some await the return of neighborhood crowds while others are caught up in landlord and legal issues. The gnawing absence of so many beloved destinations leaves a gaping hole in the otherwise increasingly buoyant dining scene.
