To-go drinks are already proving popular in New York
Photo: Westend61/Getty Images In New York, as well as a number of other cities across the country, bars and restaurants have closed indefinitely to mitigate the spread of the coronavirus. But while the days of commandeering bar patios with friends and making light banter with irreverent bartenders may be over for the foreseeable future, many bars are finding ways to continue serving locals while also adhering to guidelines on social distancing.
As one might expect, the to-go drinks are already quite popular. On their first night of service, Broken Land in Greenpoint, which is selling double drinks in sterilized mason jars that the owners sterilize with wipes before customers’ eyes, sold out of all their offerings. Bar Camillo, a Roman bar in Bed-Stuy, has sold at least ten one-liter bottles of their signature Negronis.
Ordering to-go drinks is also a way to support the restaurant industry, which is among the hardest hit by the new social-distancing mandates. In response to Mayor Bill de Blasio’s order last weekend that all restaurants and bars must shut down indefinitely, many establishments have already been forced to lay off staff, and owners have had difficulty imagining what the future of their businesses will look like.
