For those who live in Dutchess, Orange, Ulster, Sullivan, Putnam, Rockland and Westchester counties, Phase 2 means for the first time in three months, you can walk into a retail store.
Restaurants can now offer outdoor dining, and white-collar offices like law firms, real estate companies, and government offices - are all allowed to reopen now, as are hair salons and barbershops.
However, indoor malls where you cannot enter the store from the outside will remain closed.
"It is the reopening of the society. We're very happy to see it in a number of different levels," said Westchester County Executive George Latimer. "People are going back to work, that there's economic activity again, that individuals when they purchase things, will be generating revenue to the county and other governments through sales tax revenue. all of which are very positive."
Local governments are also allowed to grant permits to restaurants so they can use parking space to expand their outdoor seating.
Long Island is expected to enter Phase 2 of reopening on Wednesday.
