\n Gov. Andrew Cuomo on Monday rejected growing calls to allow indoor dining at hard-hit New York City restaurants \u2014 even as neighboring New Jersey plans to permit reduced-capacity seating later this week.<\/p>\n

State Budget Director Rob Mujica also admitted that officials had \u201cno specific metric\u201d to decide when Big App<\/a>le eateries can reopen their doors.<\/p>\n

Their remarks came after Mayor Bill de Blasio suggested nothing will change until there\u2019s some \u201chuge step forward\u201d in fighting the coronavirus, possibly in the form of \u201ca vaccine in the spring that will allow us to get more back to normal.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cuomo said the risk of a second wave of COVID-19 cases \u2014 combined with the looming flu season \u2014 meant that he wouldn\u2019t budge on restricting restaurants to outdoor dining only.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want as much economic activity as possible,\u201d he said during a virtual news<\/a> conference from Albany. \u201cWe also want to make sure the infection rate stays under control. That is the tension.\u201d<\/p>\n

New Jersey\u2019s restaurants can reopen at 25 percent of normal capacity on Friday \u2014 in time for the Labor Day weekend \u2014 and Cuomo said he was \u201caware of that competitive disadvantage for New York City restaurants.\u201d<\/p>\n

But Cuomo said the city had no way to enforce a similar mandate, alluding to overcrowding problems outside some city restaurants and bars.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe know \u2014 because I\u2019ve said it to you every day for the past month \u2014 I need local governments to do a better job on compliance, we know that,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI said, in New York City if you think the sheriffs \u2014 150 sheriffs \u2014 are going to be able to do compliance without NYPD, it\u2019s not going to work.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mujica said officials were \u201ctrying to come up with guidelines\u201d but faced problems because the city\u2019s restaurants and bars \u201care licensed together.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe know that a bar actually has a higher vector for transmission than many other activities,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is one of the highest, so you have to distinguish that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mujica also noted that restaurants in the city tended to \u201cbe in smaller spaces\u201d and have more density than elsewhere.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou know when you\u2019re indoors, in a small space with more people, there is a high chance of transmission, so how you put together guidelines that reflect that \u2026 risk is what we are focused on,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Indoor dining was allowed to resume in the northern suburbs and on Long Island on June 24, shortly after the rest of the state.<\/p>\n

Andrew Rigie of the NYC Hospitality Alliance said businesses were eager to comply with regulations and noted a recent round of inspections by the State Liquor Authority and State Police Task Force found only five violations during 1,100 visits.<\/p>\n

Rigie also rejected the notion that restaurants and bars had to all reopen at the same time.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s more than 25,000 eating and drinking establishments in the city of New York, and approximately half of them don\u2019t have liquor licenses \u2014 because they don\u2019t serve alcohol,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo if their concern is alcohol, then immedia<\/a>tely open the restaurants that don\u2019t have liquor licenses.\u201d<\/p>\n

State Sen. Diane Savino (D-SI, Brooklyn) also called on Cuomo to reverse course.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is no magic air in the surrrounding [sic] suburbs of NYC,\u201d she tweeted.<\/p>\n

\u201cLet indoor dining resume, start in Staten Island. Give us a fighting chance.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
