Prohibition in New York: 7 cities where you will never be sold alcohol

It's been 80 years since the ban on alcohol ended in many cities in America, but sometimes you can be surprised to find that many cities in New York State still prohibit the sale of alcohol by any means. On the territory of these cities, you will not be able to run into the grocery store to buy alcoholic beverage, just as you won't be able to order it while dining at a local restaurant. Where laws from the past still apply! Surely you are curious to know what these cities are. Only in Your State published a list of "dry" cities in the state of New York.

1. Argyll

About thirty minutes southeast of Lake George, the town of Argyle has a population of less than 4000. County town Washington, is the largest "dry" city in the state of New York, where alcohol has not been sold since 2000.

2. Jasper

Located in Southern Thayer half an hour west of Corning, the small town of Jasper is as quaint as it sounds. Jasper has a population of just 1000 and has been dry since 1999. It is one of two dry towns in the Steuben district.
