Bars and restaurants are gearing up to reopen for in-door dining today -- ending nearly two months of a “pause” that forced thousands out of work and threatened to permanently shutter thousands of businesses.

Restaurants will be open under new restrictions that include a 10 p-m curfew and 25 percent capacity limits.

No more than 100 people will be allowed to dine inside any bar or restaurant at one time.

The new order will last three weeks, until Sunday, February 21st -- when it will be re-evaluated.
