Question

What safety measures has the venue implemented in light of COVID?

Answer

Kevin and his team at The View at Battery Park have made every effort to ensure everything on site is properly cleaned and sanitized. Before the event they thoroughly sanitize all the hard surface areas (chairs, door handles, bar counter, etc.) and continue to clean high touch points (e.g., bathrooms, door knobs) each hour during the event. In addition, as required by the state all the venue employees and staff will be tested on a biweekly basis.
