I predict a whole new era of the speakeasy. The temperance league of Cuomo and de Blasio are forcing good people underground. But this time it isn’t alcohol which is prohibited, but actual living and normal human interaction…..
New York City restaurants face decision: Break indoor dining mandate or permanently close
Owner of Staten Island’s Max’s Es-ca said the restaurant will close if indoor dining does not reopenStory continues below advertisementBy Angelica Stabile, FOX Business, August 27, 2020:
New York City restaurant rules spark mass frustration
The coronavirus continues to get the best of the New York City restaurant industry six months after the pandemic began. FOX Business’ Kristina Partsinevelos with more.
New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio has made it clear that there are no plans to reopen indoor dining anytime soon and restaurant owners on the brink of permanent closure want answers.
The owner of Staten Island’s Max’s Es-ca, Max Calicchio, told FOX Business’ Kristina Partsinevelos that he’s stuck with the decision to either close his doors completely or open indoor dining against city regulation.
“It’s not viable for us to be around if we have to wait for a vaccine,” he said. “We can’t make our bills and pay staff. We’re going to be closed.”
NEW YORK CITY’S OLDEST TAVERN AT RISK OF GOING OUT OF BUSINESS
De Blasio mentioned potentially holding off indoor dining until a coronavirus vaccine is available. So Max’s Es-ca along with at least 100 other restaurants are now looking to file a class-action lawsuit against the city.
“It’s very scary,” Deluca’s Italian Restaurant owner Rob Deluca said. “There are 25,000 restaurants in New York City who will most likely face the same fate together.”
Restaurant owners are also questioning the consistency of these city mandates since other businesses like gyms, retail stores and bowling alleys are all allowed to open indoors.
According to The New York Times, more than 2,800 small businesses in NYC have closed since the coronavirus outbreak while the restaurants left standing are relying on outdoor service to survive.

NO. It took the residents of NYC to destroy their own city. THEY COULD HAVE RECALLED BOTH THE MAYOR AND THE GOVERNOR, but they did not and will not.

This is what New Yorkers got and deserve for electing a Communist-Marxist and a tyrannical lunatic even nuttier than his daddy Mario.
By the way… there ain’t GONNA (ever) be a viable vaccine because COVID-19 IS A VIRUS THAT MUTATES.
The actual plan was to scare the crap out of everyone so they spend trillions injecting themselves with a vaccine that will be indirectly marketed by Bill Gates and Anthony Fauci.
Every year.
Forever.
THAT’S why the utterly stupid and useless mask panic and lockdown continue.
AND THE SHEEP LOOK UP!

In NY State, in the last 24 hours, 7 deaths from Covid-19 are recorded. This number is so low that it is not distinctive against the background of normal daily mortality from all causes in NY State.
And don’t forget, I can’t find ANY ‘excess’ mortality in the USA from Covid-19 in the CDC data on ‘all causes mortality’, from January to July in 2020. In that 2020 period, the total mortalities in the USA have gone down since the 2019 January to July period. I don’t know what that means yet, but it appears that some reductions in other mortalities have occurred that have offset the Covid-19 mortalities. Staying home is usually safer than going out. But it can drive people nuts.

Yes, there seems to be no net benefit to excessive clamp-downs. Normal people forget that about 5% of the population suffers from severe mental problems, like alcoholism, drug addiction, schizophrenia, paranoid psychosis, and clinical depression.
Those folks have serious trouble when everything is normal, and any additional disruption can be catastrophic for them.

How are people to make a living – when their jobs were taken from them?
There are NO govt. OFFICIALS or leaders – there are ONLY Public Servants.
When the Public Servants become self serving tyrants, it’s misconduct which may rise to sedition & treason which is a DEATH PENALTY – their over reach, begets their necks stretched or severed.
Hey, they can swim for their freedom. Cross a moat w/ crocodiles, piranhas –
G-d’s predators will know how to deal w/ these EVILDOERS. Broadcast on tv –
advertisers will pays millions to promote the carnage & the revenue can be towards the public interest. Be kind to G-d’s predators!

Jay, yes the numbers are ‘unstable’, to say it politely. But USA numbers tend to be exaggerations, not minimizations. They claim mortality and morbidity that is not really real. SO… that means if they say 7 mortalities, that means the real number IS probably small, and maybe it’s zero.

If they are renting the building they should put all the equipment on a truck and leave the city behind. Their customers have already likely moved and won’t come back. They started their business with less experience and money, they can start over some where better.

Just tell Cuomo and DeBlasio that you are feeding ‘protesters’. Tell ’em you’re fighting ‘racism’ by seating customers indoors.

There needs to be a petition to remove NAZI, MOSLEM lover, anti-white bigot, anti-Semitic WARREN WILHEM immediately – this filth is destroying one of the greatest cities in the world. I pray G-d will send someone to eliminate this monster as the irreparable harm he has done & the glee he is enjoying, & his wife who is sacking NYC is disgusting. WOE TO WW & his enablers!

Mayor Goof Ball Red Bill de Blasio 25000 restaurants are how many hundreds of thousands of NYC jobs? How many restaurant patrons in addition to the lost livelihoods will be pissed off at you and the Dems and not forgiving. How many ancillary jobs are tied in that will be lost. Bill you’re a freaking geniuses because in the last week of October you and Governor Cuomo somehow will blame President Trump. The New York Times, I’m sure will collaborate with you two.

NAZI, anti-white racist, bigot, anti-Semitic, communist WARREN WILHELM actions were an blatant act of WAR on NYC Jews, & the uSA economy The CDC updated indicate ONLY
9210 deaths were attributed to COVID-19. The other death had 2-3 other serious illnesses & were of advanced age. WW actions violated 18 USC 241-245, 373, 2381-2385 so he & wife, an enabler, as well as CUOMO should be terminated, so Lady Liberty & Lady Justice are satisfied. Each tyranical predator, parasite willfully, knowingly KILLED 1000s of seniors, caused irreparable harm to 1000s of families in metro area. WOE to WW et al.
