NY City Eateries Will Be Allowed To Charge 10% COVID-19 Fee Under Bill Passed By Council

Despite New Yorkers streaming out of the city because of COVID-19 and soaring crime rates, the City Council has decided to make residents pay more when they go to restaurants.

Under a new bill passed Wednesday by the City Council, New York restaurants will be allowed to add up to a 10% charge onto customers’ tab. The bill passed on a 46-2 vote.
