NYC Sheriff’s Office Busted Illegal Parties in Manhattan and Queens Over the Holiday Weekend - Eater NY

"Staten Island pub Mac’s Public House, located in a state-designated orange zone, has refused to comply with local COVID-19 regulations as positive cases rise in the area. Instead, the owner has declared the establishment an autonomous zone and continues to operate despite having its liquor license yanked and thousands of dollars in fines levied at the business. The pub appears to be exploiting a loophole by not charging customers for drinks or food and accepting donations instead, the New York Post reports." - Erika Adams

What to Know About the Staten Island Bar Controversy

"Mac’s Public House, located in Staten Island, has become a symbol for those frustrated with COVID-19 restrictions. The bar declared itself an 'autonomous zone' and continued indoor dining despite restrictions, leading to fines and the suspension of its liquor license. Co-owners Danny Presti and Keith McAlarney have publicly opposed the restrictions, drawing attention and protests. The situation escalated when Presti was arrested for continuing operations after the suspension." - Chris Crowley

Literally the best cheesesteak and jalapeño poppers I’ve ever had in my life. Great atmosphere, great service and a jukebox to play your choice of music which I enjoy since let’s be honest music is what we need while we’re drinking! Definitely 5 stars and highly recommended

It’s a great place to come and relax with your friends. It has a feel of a Brooklyn bar, I Felt warm and Cozy the whole time I was there. Definitely try the Thai chili wings and the cheese steak sandwich to die for.
