If you want to order a to-go cocktail from a New York bar or restaurant, you’ll have to order something 'substantial' like a soup, sandwich, salad, or chicken wings. 'A bag of chips, bowl of nuts, or candy alone” does not make the cut.
A law passed as part of the budget requires customers to purchase a “substantial food item” in order to get a drink. But it didn’t define what “substantial” meant, forcing the SLA to define the term itself. The updated guidelines further crystallize the measure that some initially considered vague.
“Obvious efforts to circumvent the law, for example an unreasonably small portion of soup, a serving of canned beans, a handful of lettuce, or charging a small extra fee for an alcoholic beverage in lieu of a food item not actually ordered or delivered will be treated as a violation of the law,”Violating the measure could result in an establishment having its liquor license suspended or revoked following a hearing, according to the measure.
The new budget, meanwhile, also banned restaurants from selling bottles of liquor or wine with takeout orders, but didn’t explicitly include a limit on the size of to-go drinks.
