CBS New York April 26, 2021 U.S. Sen. Chuck Schumer appeared at a Manhattan seafood restaurant on Sunday to urge restaurateurs to apply for the upcoming $28.6 billion federal restaurant relief program. "Our purpose here is to tell the restaurants of New York, 'Get ready, help is on the way,'" Schumer said at Crave Fishbar in Midtown. The restaurant relief program, part of the $1.9 trillion COVID-19 relief package signed into law last month, will let restaurant owners apply for grants to cover coronavirus-related losses from last year and this year. The maximum grant for an individual restaurant is $5 million. CBS Local Digital Media personalizes the global reach of CBS-owned and operated television and radio stations with a local perspective.
