The NYC Hospitality Alliance successfully advocated to expand access to Temporary Liquor Permits in NYC by getting legislation passed that eliminates the requirement that a premises held an active liquor license within the past two years to be eligible for a temporary liquor permit.

We await the Governor signing this bill into law. Read more.
