Sunday alcohol sales in the city can start this weekend
New York City is set to enliven Sunday mornings with new legislation allowing liquor and wine stores to operate from 10 AM to 10 PM. This change, enhancing the previous hours of noon to 9 PM, aims to increase foot traffic and boost local businesses, including grocery stores that can now sell beer, cider, and mead from 3 AM to 8 AM. Governor Kathy Hochul praised the modernization of alcohol laws, foreseeing economic growth and job creation in the brewing and distilling sectors. With the new regulations, residents can look forward to more options for weekend outings and a vibrant drinking scene.
