Cuomo's Boozy Brunch Bill, Mission Cantina's Thai Toga Party, and More Intel

— New Yorkers are one step closer to being able to legally drink alcohol at restaurants before noon on Sunday. Yesterday, Governor Cuomo proposed a bill that would overturn the blue law that forbids restaurants from serving booze between 4 a.m. and noon on Sunday. At a brewery ribbon-cutting ceremony in Rochester yesterday, Cuomo remarked: "The law was created 80 years ago right after prohibition....It is the most bizarre, arcane, frustrating, maddening law that you could imagine." Last month, Cuomo created the "Alcoholic Beverage Control Law Working Group" to help work on the proposal. The bill would also modernize the "Two Hundred Foot Law," by allowing some businesses to serve alcohol near schools and churches. Now the set of bills is going to the state Legislature for consideration.

I have nothing against people who shun meat. Eat and let eat, or not, I say. But my tolerance runs out when they’re sanctimonious about their calling, which some regard not merely as a diet, but as a 'social justice movement' — at least until they’re caught cheating."
