A New York pub has gone to extraordinary lengths to remain afloat after Gov. Andrew Cuomo imposed new lockdown restrictions that affect the establishment, declaring itself an “autonomous zone,” giving out free drinks, and asking for donations.
Following a spike in cases of the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus, Cuomo announced tighter curbs last week, with part of Staten Island, where Mac’s Public House is located, designated a medium-risk orange zone. The new restrictions, which include the closure of many businesses deemed nonessential and limiting restaurants to outdoor dining and takeout, went into effect on Nov. 25.
