New York has dropped the requirement to quarantine following exposure to COVID if the person has been fully vaccinated. This policy applies to everyone who received their second dose of either the Pfizer or Moderna vaccine.

On Monday, Governor Cuomo announced that New York City's indoor dining establishments could reopen starting February 12, at 25% capacity. Today the Governor announced that sports arenas and stadiums with a capacity of 10,000 or more can reopen as early as February 23rd.

Many of the details and plans have yet to be revealed but it appears as though Congress has reached an agreement on a COVID-19 relief bill. This news should give some comfort to those that find themselves unemployed due to the pandemic but is it enough?

We've all seen the joke photos going around the internet and all of social media that shows Governor Andrew Cuomo peeping and creeping through your window to make sure you're following his Thanksgiving COVID mandates. A company in western New York that specializes in custom art, banners, signs and stickers has very opportunistically - and quite hilariously - created a purchasable sticker that has

New mandates, new laws, new hours, new adjustments...New York. It's just another day in the life of a an Empire Stater trying to figure out what we can and can't do as well as when we can and can't do it.   Pardon me if I'm coming off as less newsy and more editorial, I'll get off my soapbox now.  The reason for this post is to let you all know that effective on Friday November 13, Rivers Casino a

The election is important, it's also very stressful.  It doesn't make things easier not knowing who the winner is and that we may not know for a while.  Part of me wishes we could just rip the damn band-aid off and announce a winner.  Whether it's Trump or Biden, I just want to know...the waiting sucks.  With that being said, I spent some time recently thinking about things in my life, that no mat

Some dogs run after cars, others run to get treats, but a Fall River, Massachusetts goldendoodle named Oliver Winston Churchill Finelli is running for something a little more prestigious.  He may not be your typical paw-litician, but this handsome boy with the esteemed-sounding name, is running for President of the United States of America.  And his message is a simple one: Because People Suck.  

A man in Massachusetts has resorted to good old fashioned shock and awe as a detriment to the thieves in his neighborhood who keep messing with his Trump 2020 political signs.

It seems like everything we're told to do or not do comes right down to the eleventh hour, but on Tuesday, the Governor made the announcement regarding Halloween.  I'll admit, I was a little bit surprised that the Governor's ruling on trick-or-treating in New York state this Halloween came this soon.

I can't possibly be the only one annoyed at Governor Cuomo's latest mandate saying that local casinos can only operate at 25 percent capacity. Turning Stone, Foxwoods, Mohegan Sun, and many other casinos in the Northeast have been operating for a while and they've been doing it quite well and safely...

At this point of the pandemic I think it's fair to ask the Governor - or anyone willing to listen-  why haven't our two local casinos, Rivers and Saratoga Casino, reopened?  Other casinos in New York and throughout the Northeast have been open for over a month and we all know someone who made the trip safely out to Turning Stone, Foxwoods or Mohegan Sun...

On Friday morning, Brian and Chrissy played another round of their outrageous, yet very informative morning show game called the Cuomo Quiz. The topics for this particular quiz ranged from recent tweets about wearing a mask, to the latest state added to "the must quarantine following travel there...
