Re-Open New York is a coalition of nearly 300 small businesses in New York City calling for a reopening by May 26, for all small businesses across the state. Their point of contention is that big box stores have been allowed to be open during the pandemic, where many people congregate in small areas. The coalition’s argument is that small businesses should also be allowed to open, since small groups normally shop there. Life in the Finger Lakes magazine has always been a champion for the small businesses – the boutiques, shops and enterprises that make up the heart and soul of the Finger Lakes Region. We encourage you to continue to support these businesses – especially our advertisers.

New York State’s oldest, continually running drive-in theater is open! The Fingerlakes Drive-In opened in July of 1947 so take a step back in time and experience some 1950s nostalgia. Stay up to date with the modernity of weekly emails or text messages on movie titles and times which help bridge the gap of images of staring up at a big screen or iconic dates with the newer generations. While they still ask that you wear a mask when out of your vehicle this is a fun experience that you can partake in while social distancing. A friendly reminder to bring cash, preferably exact change for ticket and concession purchases.
