Want to hear how big of pieces of shit @NYGovCuomo @NYCMayor & the state liquor authority are?
Listen to this one
Joyce’s tavern had never been visited by the State Liquor Authority... not during Covid, not before, & had no violations
They’re are getting killed financially (1)

On Thurs, They let me have a little book signing- Outdoors of course, on a small patio. I advertised the event from the same twitter acnt I use to bash Cuomo & de Blasio on a daily basis. The bar also has flags that wld make it seem like it was right-leaning (2)
What a coincidence, on Friday, the very next night, the SLA goons come in for a surprise random inspection. The first time there ever. Was there a complaint?
The restaurant was very busy that night, “busier than they have been since Covid” according to the owner...why? (3)

Despite their poor financial situation. They joined a number of local NYC restaurants that would be donating a portion of their proceeds on 9/11 to the @Tunnel2Towers foundation. Coincidentally, an organization that just embarrassed the Gov into restoring the Tribute in Lights(4)
The public responded. Our community is choc full of first responders, victims families, & folks suffering from 9-11 cancer. Many were there... the place was packed, no question about that. There was an hour wait for the few outdoor tables they had. (5)
Some charitable patrons, their legs growing tired, sat in chairs in the indoor portion of the restaurant. They weren’t eating. The SLA never alleged they were eating. They were sitting and waiting. Two people had water. Again, no food, no beer, Just waiting for outdoor tables.(6)
In thunders the SLA. Perhaps they read the advertisements online about the nights charitable cause. They immediately remove and revoke their liquor license. No warnings. At hearing the next day, the owners are not allowed to defend themselves. They lose by default, Cuomo-style (7
This is the same commission that shuttered another SI business when the SLA observed people drinking by a pool (the restaurant had no pool) Joyce’s will now likely face a $25,000 fine. This will put them out of business. The fam will go bust, the workers will be on unemployment(8
How do we accept this as normal? How do we let a neighborhood business that was giving back to our 9/11 families and first responders just get fined out of business. How does the SLA inspector sleep at night? How do Cuomo & de Blasio ? (End)
Forgot to add... this was a business that was a party in a lawsuit to reopen indoor dining... using Cuomo. They also had a small sign sayin something like “Cuomo is killing our business.” - odd that SLA would pick them out of the thousands of places that night.
