Thursday (6/24) was the last day for to-go and delivery in New York State, the New York State Liquor Authority announced.
A recent poll by the New York Restaurant Association showed that 78% of New Yorkers favor permanently allowing alcoholic beverages to be purchased with takeout or delivery orders from restaurants. Support varies by region — 72% in Upstate New York, 83% in New York City suburbs — but however you cut it, at least seven of 10 New Yorkers support to-go alcohol and delivery.
Of those who have purchased alcohol-to-go with takeout or a food delivery, 98% say they strongly support it becoming permanent. They ordered to-go alcohol, on average, 13 times in the last year, and 71% did so in the last month
