New York’s hungry rats torment alfresco diners after lockdown famine. ° Surge in rat activity as city starts to open outdoor restaurants ° ‘Last night, a customer had a baby rat running on his shoe’ Oliver Milman in New York New York City is starting to tentatively emerge from the ravages of the coronavirus pandemic but a revival in outdoor restaurant dining is facing a new hazard – a plague of rats. Diners are facing a surge in rat activity following a lockdown period where the rodents were cut off from key food sources as businesses including restaurants and grocery stores shut down, forcing rats to battle for snacks and even eat each other.

Seriously though, yeah it makes sense. No restaurants cooking or serving people, no yummy garbage for them. When I worked in DC rats were crazy there in certain parts of town. New York is even more congested with more places to eat, so rats were probably freaking out with no more food all of a sudden. I'd have to take a pass for now on outside dining there, can't eat with a rat bagging for food. I make my dog go away, lol.

NYC rats are very cunning and resilient. Remember the infamous 'Pizza Rat?' Perhaps they'll learn to do tricks for treats like dogs... or maybe they'll just spread plague.

Hey, it's July, riots, lootings, statue toppling and Covid are sooo yesterday. We need a fresh crisis, why not plague, just don't call it black plague, that would be bad, very bad.

When your waiter is taking your order in what looks like a hazmat suit, I think you should consider delivery or takeout. How can you feel safe or comfortable eating like that? Now you have rats running up to you for food? Eff that.
