Belle Harbor, NY – Assemblywoman Stacey Pheffer Amato (D-Belle Harbor) has started distributing PPE and hand sanitizer to local restaurants to help support safe indoor dining in her district. She began at the Harbor Light Pub and Restaurant in Belle Harbor, Queens after having a meal in their restaurant.

“Now that our restaurants are open for indoor dining, even at just 35%, I want to do my part to help support them,” Pheffer Amato said. “Our restaurant owners have been New York tough from the beginning of this pandemic, and they know how to keep their customers, communities, and employees safe. If you are comfortable, I highly encourage everyone to make a reservation and show your support for our local restaurants!”

Indoor dining was expanded to 35% capacity on Friday, February 26th. Assemblywoman Pheffer Amato supports the expansion of safe indoor dining to 50% capacity. Additionally, if any individual or organization within the 23rd Assembly District still needs PPE, please contact the Assemblywoman’s office at 718-945-9550 or by email at amatos@nyassembly.gov.
