A new bill proposed by a state assembly member from Manhattan would allow people to drink outdoors during the World Cup this summer.

Assemblymember Tony Simone, a Democrat representing Chelsea, midtown and part of Hell’s Kitchen, says it would happen through the creation of “entertainment zones.”

If enacted, the HOST Act (Hospitality and Open Space Transformation Act) it would allow cities, towns and counties to opt into the act to set up these zones. Visitors will be able to enjoy a drink outside and not be crowded in a small bar.

“For instance, on 9th Avenue in Hell’s Kitchen, or in Chelsea on 8th Avenue where there are bars that want to participate, you could close the street off temporarily,” said Simone.

Only businesses that already have a liquor license can participate and this would only take place during the duration of the World Cup, from June 11 through July 19.

The bill does not seek to create new liquor licenses, remove age restrictions, nor eliminate enforcement. It could also allow bars to extend business hours to account for overseas matches.

Simone sees it as a great economic opportunity.

“We want to make sure that small businesses are in the starting lineup,” Simone said.

The bill would not be an entirely new thing, not even for the city. Similar bills have been adopted in California and Seattle because of the World Cup. New York already has two designated “fan zones” at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in Queens and Rockefeller Center in Manhattan. Simone says his bill would only expand on what’s already in motion.

“The World Cup is coming, whether we act or not,” he said.

The Restaurant Association and NYC Hospitality Alliance are on board with this plan, according to Simone. Neither group immediately responded to a request for comment.

With less than 100 days away from one of the biggest sports events in the world, the bill would need to pass soon and be approved by the New York State Liquor Authority.

Simone remains optimistic and draws comparison to other states that have accomplished this in the same amount of time.

“To me, it’s doable. I think us Democrats need to deliver and do big things and ensure that folks enjoy their involvement with the World Cup,” Simone said.
