New York State Lawmaker Proposes Outdoor Drinking Zones for FIFA World Cup
A New York state lawmaker is pushing for a bill to establish outdoor drinking zones in high-density bar areas during the upcoming FIFA World Cup. Assemblymember Tony Simone, a Democrat from Manhattan, introduced the measure, which would allow cities like New York to set up entertainment areas for people to buy drinks from licensed spots and enjoy them on the street. The plan, modeled after a similar law in Washington state, aims to support small businesses and draw crowds to the tristate area. However, the bill faces challenges, including quick approval from the state Legislature, Governor Kathy Hochul, local governments, and the State Liquor Authority. Industry reactions are mixed, with some supporting the idea and others doubting it can be implemented in time.
