NEW YORK CITY—Nearly nine in 10 restaurants, bars and nightlife venues in New York city could not pay full rent in August, according to a survey by the NYC Hospitality Alliance.
The survey of more than 450 restaurants, bars, and nightlife establishments found that 87% of businesses could not pay full rent in August, and 34% were unable to pay any rent at all.

These numbers could shift when indoor dining is expected to resume at 25% occupancy on Sept. 30.
