Andrew M. Cuomo (D) announced new restrictions, including closing bars, restaurants, and gyms at 10 p.m., and limiting indoor gatherings to groups of 10 or fewer. The rules, he said, were a result of a rise of new cases that began at small indoor gatherings, including recent Halloween parties. Hours before the Bronx underground fight club event, authorities said they found a similar scene at an “illegal bottle club” party in the Chelsea neighborhood of Manhattan that began late Friday evening and stretched into Saturday morning. Unlike the fight club, photos shared by the agency on Twitter showed many attendees wearing face coverings. Authorities said they charged three event organizers with multiple misdemeanors for failing to have a liquor license, among other violations.
