A Queens restaurant that hosted a large holiday party with maskless patrons had its liquor license suspended for violating several COVID-19 regulations and other health safety laws, state authorities announced Thursday. But the State Liquor Authority said Thursday it yanked the restaurant’s liquor license last Thursday following an investigation that was launched in response to the viral video. Andrew Cuomo and Mayor Bill de Blasio have criticized the restaurant party, which the mayor said the city would investigate. Trent, chair of the local party affiliate Queens Village Republican Club, attended the party and told the outlet he began having symptoms two days after the party, on Dec. 9. "We wish the best to Jim Trent for a speedy recovery and understand that his hospitalization was purely precautionary, and that he is being released today," the club told the outlet.
