Restaurants -- to eat, to mingle, to do business -- are the lifeblood of Midtown, Steve Cuozzo argues. If they aren't reopened, workers won't return.
It’s the restaurants, stupid.
Midtown without places to eat is a hollow shell of itself. They’re the socializing glue without which no central business district can function.

Wait a minute, New York voluntarily commits suicide, and you want to revive the patient??
Someone play Taps
All the rich liberals will starve because they can’t cook for themselves.
Wilhelm-the-CityKiller: It’s dead, Jim.
You voted for socialism and now surprised you have it?
Sorry, I have NO sympathy.
Starve for all I care.

My gosh, do I have to take out my tiny violin again today?
Let it die and return to its natural state. That’s one way to get the UN out.
Elections have consequences.
To all idiots that voted D: Stay in your shitholes and live with your voting. If you move to a red or purple area, DON’T VOTE.
Floyd and Covid are big lies and America dies.
If “Indoor Restaurants” are the life blood of society in NYC, those people are shallower then I ever thought.
Good Lord, what a miserable existance living in that city must be.
I’ve written it off. NYC needs to get what its asking for. It needs to go down with the votes they have cast. You put a anarchist communist in power, you should not complain. Chicago is close.
Now ya done it. I am going to cry into my pillow ALL NIGHT.
Bye
Push NYC out to sea and pull the plug.
It’s the one single, best, thing that could happen to NYS.
Eff NYC.
L
I completely agree.
Revival will not come to the whiners. It will come from good people who are tired of what has flowed down hill most of this year.
Your advice is on target.
Don’t complain New York folks...just take a good hard look in the nearest mirror and you will clearly see who destroyed NYC!!!
Want to bring NYC back...cast your vote for Trump/Pence, GOP...period!!!
As long as Orange Man is bad they New Yorkers will willingly go down with the ship. I do not care. They deserve the misery they desire. It is merely the price of a SJW’s life. Let them virtue signal on that.
Hmmm...
High Population density
High Population mobility
High Dependence on rapid transit
High International travel
High Risk behavior
Check,Check,Check,Check, and Check
And they wonder how they got themselves into this mess
