New York City has sent notice to 17 restaurants, telling them that they have to close their outdoor sidewalk seating areas.
Good idea. Mayor Bloomberg might walk by and sees someone enjoying their food.

no way! I just saw a commercial on FoxNews that New York has low taxes, no burdensome regulations and is extremely business-friendly and I should think about moving my business there!
GDFT!!! those food cooking sidewalk stealing bastards….they will pay

“Or lose their permits” Oh how great and knowledgeable Bloomberg did these miscreants get those permits in the first place? Didn’t they have to prove then that they were complying with city regulations? Or perhaps these places are owned by conservatives. Who knows. It couldn’t be that city inspectors didn’t do their jobs properly the first time around now could it?
Heh; the mayor might be right this time. The article sounds like some people are taking over the city sidewalks for their own use, or at least they appear to be. Thus people couldn’t get by without walking in the street. Street walking is frowned on in New York City, or so I’ve been told.
CCO you’re correct. Some of these restaurants block off large sections of the sidewalk blocking the pedestrian traffic. They should dial it back at the very least. As far as walking in the street goes – it’s not so much frowned on as it is risky. Cabbies and cyclists ignore traffic laws. So this ONE time I have to agree with Bloomberg.
@6 – Hey! Stop ruining my narrative of oppressed outrage with your reasonable consideration of all relevant factors! 😛
COO may be correct…and if Nanny Bloomberg hadn’t been trying to ban everything else maybe we would take him seriously.
At this point, if he happens to be in the right on this particular ban I’m wiling to chalk it up to coincidence. Fortunately, there is already a ban on this practice so all he has to do is enforce the laws already in existence…he can then turn his attention back to banning more important things….like squirrels and hot showers.
P.S.
“Bloomberg bacon”….now that just sounds so wrong.
@9 – Why? Is he Jewish?
Can Jews eat Turkey bacon?
Better question: Is Turkey bacon really bacon? (Reminds me of a story, but anon; tempis fugit.)
COO Jews can eat REAL bacon…I’ve seen them do it. They didn’t burst into flames or anything! I think it’s more of a choice than lack of ability.
@13 You mean there is no Earth shattering Kaboom! I was expecting a Kaboom!

There, actually, was a video on YouTube of a Rabbi noshing on a double-bacon cheeseburg just before he spontaneously combusted…no earth-shattering kaboom, just a geschrei of “Oy, Gottes Mir” before vaporizing into an ashen pile of beard hair and fur hat.
YHVH does not look favorably on those of the Chosen who tuck into slices of trayf.
@7 – Sorry!
THAT JERK BLOOMBERG!!!! WHO DOES HE THINK HE IS!!!!!
I guess somebody needs to read “The Boy Who Cried Wolf” to Bloomberg. He’s spent so much time and energy being an oppressive dictator, our default response to him is ‘shut up commie’
@13, I think there’s something in the 163rd Psalm about that, or so I was told, but if turkey bacon isn’t bacon then it’s rather beside the point.
The mayor should be the poster boy for RINO’s. This is NOT who or what we want to elect ever again.
