“Let’s call it seven weeks removed from Omicron running rampant,” says Elijah Servance III, a bartender at Queensyard in midtown. “I don’t know what data or what stuff y’all are seeing that makes you feel eight weeks later like, No, it’s all good — just get rid of the masks. Don’t worry about the unvaccinated.” At his bar, he says, he’ll often do 300 covers a night. “What if 100 of those people are unvaccinated?” he asks.
For some operators, the lifting of the mandate comes as a relief. Omar Canales says workers at Seis Vecinos, a Honduran restaurant in the Bronx, will stop checking customers’ vaccination status once the mandate ends. “It will be one less thing for our staff members to be concerned about,” he says. “We continue to suggest to our staff to wear masks as that’s something we’ve gotten more used to accepting than asking for proof of vaccination and dealing with confrontation from new customers.
