BUFFALO, NY (WKBW) – New York joins 14 other states in the U.S. that use mobile IDs, which restaurant patrons and owners say could be beneficial. “We definitely go above and beyond to make sure it’s a valid ID and that this process is done correctly for the establishment. I don’t see how this will be any different besides just another form of ID that we have to check,” said Tim Walton Co-owner of Venu on Chippewa.
