New York City restaurateurs are complaining that their business has been slashed severely by the COVID-19 vaccine mandate, which requires people 12 and older to show vaccination proof for indoor dining, indoor fitness, and indoor entertainment.

Pre-pandemic, O'Donoghue’s Pub and Restaurant was a successful business that has been open for 10 years in Times Square, Manhattan.
