Hochul Extends New York Bar Hours to 4 A.M. Through June 20 for World Cup

Summary
New York bars and restaurants outside New York City can serve alcohol until 4 a.m. under a temporary bill Hochul approved Tuesday for the World Cup.
The measure overrides county closing times that now range from 1 a.m. in Ontario County to 2 a.m. in Niagara and 3 a.m. in Warren County.
The extended hours run from Thursday, June 11, through early Monday, June 20, while the bill itself expires on July 21.
Hochul said the move is meant to keep venues open through tournament matches, draw fans together and boost small businesses; she had already announced a one-day permit process in April for outdoor World Cup watch parties.
