There's a bar/OTB opening nearby in upstate NY and I'll be curious to see the business once they open after cleaning up after the flood.
When you went to the restaurants you were expected to buy something. Didn't have to be a lot, but just sitting there was frowned on and can't say I ever saw anyone hanging out outside like at the regular parlors. That's what helped make such places nice though. No riff-raff. And if anyone became disruptive at all, they were asked to leave
