Steve, listen to this. A New York pub is making headlines for its tongue in cheek response to the states latest. Reopening regulation, Harveys Restaurant and BAR in Saratoga Springs offering their customers Cuomo chips for one dollar as they work to stay in compliance with the governors rule which bans bars from selling alcohol without food. Joining us right now are the pubs owners, Matthew, Begley and Adam Humphrey, guys good morning to you good morning good morning. How are you Steve were doing? Okay, Matthew, you know this has gotten. Cuomo chips has gotten a lot of publicity. This was tongue in cheek to start right, yeah we were just initially just we had to come up with something to remain compliant and also just kind of to poke fun at the policy, and now, a couple days later here we are interviewing with you on Fox AMP, friends, Steve and the policy Matthew is. If somebody is going to order

an alcoholic drink, they have to also order food at the same time right, yeah, Steve, okay, so you figured you know what somebody is not going to. You are a restaurant already yeah. We have been a restaurant since Harveys opened in twenty fourteen Steve all right, so Adam tell us about the reaction from the folks who frequent harveys I mean initially when we came up with the name for it. It was pretty much like he said, just kind of lighten the blow of the new rule we had to follow. It got some pretty good feedback from our bar regulars and restaurant guests came in and thoughts it with a funny kind of lighten the blow that they had to buy. Another food item like they already ate somewhere else and came in and wanted just to buy a pint of beer or something, but they now have to buy food every bar they go to so yeah I mean the reaction has been pretty good.

I mean its been pretty mellow, I would say so. Ultimately, Matthew has been very successful because I understand you ran out of Cuomo chips. Be careful. This has been devastating to your business. Last thing you want is for the governor to shut you down, because you are not in compliance with that law. Absolutely and the issue is that we have been having we are compliant. The restaurant socially distanced got those sanitary stations. I am absolutely over policing people in regards to wearing mask other hurdle to jump over. You know its been a little difficult will Steve yeah like I said, we ran out of the potato chips, so there is a positive there, Steve Adam the governor, said yesterday, unless people start socially distancing at bars, because there are a number of bars here in the New York City

area. You are up in springs where people are shoulder to shoulder and there is no social distancing and they are not wearing masks. They are not talking about what you are doing, because when you see people who are too close or not wearing a mask, what do you do were throwing them out Steve just like that literally throwing them out? Perfect example. Is we had a larger party that came in recently and we had to go up and we had to manage them and be like you have got to wear your mask when you are walking around its our livelihood. You know its our liquor license its everything to us Steve real quickly. What has the pandemic done to your business? I mean initially we closed down for three months. You know we missed Saint Patricks Day, which is a big blow, and we had to wait until we got federal relief. So after that three months it was sort of a slow crawl. We are very fortunate that we have a very large space to work with.

We have outdoor seating available and enough space that we can socially distance without losing too many tables. Okay, but the biggest hurdle really is just compliance and making sure that people follow the rules that we are trying to so hard to enforce Steve right, thats, why you are selling Cuomo chips and get them this afternoon. Folks, theyre getting another big delivery.
