May 11, 2020, 5:39.52 pm ET
Empire Outlets on Staten Island is expanding its food and beverage portfolio with the opening on Clinton Hall Beer Garden.
Empire Outlets developer Joseph Ferrara saying, “While Empire Outlets has been temporarily closed to be in accordance with the mandate from New York State and our elected and health officials, we are looking forward to reopening and welcoming our guests back to our waterfront destination with the opening of Clinton Hall, offering locals and visitors alike an award-winning casual dining and entertainment opportunity and building upon the North Shore revitalization, while implementing responsible social distancing measures as part of the new normal.”
Clinton Hall's new protocols will include temperature checks of staff and guests upon arrival; providing masks as part of the server’s uniforms; enforcing limited capacity and ensuring patrons are seated six feet apart from each other; offering disposable and/or digital menus, disposable cups and hand sanitizing stations throughout the space.
Clinton Hall at Empire Outlets will open in two phases, with the opening of its 4,000 square-foot outdoor space that will overlook downtown Manhattan and Brooklyn as the first phase opening, followed by a 6,000 square-foot indoor space as the second phase of opening. The opening is slated for this Summer. Stay tuned.
