New York Bar Amor Y Amargo Reopens in Manhattan With Bitters Cocktails | Eater NY
"The New York City mini-chain is one of several hospitality operators expressing frustration with a Department of Environmental Protection proposal to regulate commercial charbroilers as a way of improving the city’s air quality. The proposal would ban charbroilers that cook 875 pounds of meat or more a week that were installed before May 6, 2016, though owners can bypass the ban by installing an approved emissions control device that proves the equipment is reducing its emissions by 75 percent or emitting emissions under a specific limit. There’s a public hearing on Wednesday, January 29. New York City Hospitality Alliance director Andrew Rigie told the New York Post that the city should help pay for these restaurant upgrades. The measure follows a similar 2023 proposal to regulate coal- and wood-fired ovens at pizzerias, which passed in 2024." - Nadia Chaudhury
