“It’s just a small step back to remind people we’re still in a pandemic,” a bouncer, who declined to give his name, told us Saturday night after the order was issued. “We’re all eager to get back to the way things were before and sometimes we get a little bit ahead of ourselves, and that’s all it was.”
Patrons were required to leave after the street seating was shut down at the location Saturday night.
Outside of the bar, Mike, who held a to-go cocktail in a plastic container, said, “It’s a business, they gotta run their shit. I think it’s kinda unfair.”
“We just wanted to have a nice dinner, a girl’s night out,” said Tatiana Soriano, 19, of Forest Hills. “We Uber’d here and were expecting that.”
Soriano added: “I just feel like our lives can’t stop because of this, so it’s nice that they’re slowly reopening.”
