It’s the week before Christmas, traditionally the best week of the year to be in New York City. This is the week when tourists by the thousands flock to town, hundreds of restaurants are full and festive, the theater does peak business, the symphony and opera and ballet put on their most popular shows, concert venues are fully booked, hotel rooms are impossible to find, stores are packed, and beautiful Christmas lights are everywhere.
Not this year. Don’t even think about coming here right now. Almost all of the best things are closed, by order of our political masters. The term “ghost town” is a fair description. Here’s a small roundup:
Restaurants. After a few months of graciously allowing restaurants to have outdoor dining plus indoor at 25% capacity, last week — just as fall was about to turn into full winter — Governor Cuomo ordered all restaurants in New York City completely closed for indoor dining until further notice. That’s right, all indoor dining at restaurants is closed in New York City. Outdoor? This is December! For most of the last week, the temperature has been well below 32F (0C); today it finally got back to a little above 40F (5C). In my neighborhood, normally the best restaurant area of the City, nearly all of the restaurants have given up. A handful have built elaborate “outdoor” structures where a few hardy patrons in parkas huddle beneath highly inadequate heat lamps. The evidence that indoor dining at restaurants is a significant source of spread of the coronavirus is non-existent.
Broadway theater. All of it is completely closed. Through May 2021!

The purpose of the “redistribution of wealth” is supposedly to fix the City’s schools. Those schools currently spend about $28,000 per year per student on K-12 education, which is well more than double the national average. As usual, de Blasio takes no responsibility for the failure of New York City schools to achieve even near-average results for almost triple the cost elsewhere in the country, and just demands more and more and yet more money.
CGI Dick Clark will drop the ball in CGI Times Square with braindead CGI “celebrities” getting hammered.
If you can make it there, you can make it anywhere.
Third world hell-hole is a better description.
It is going to get worse if they don't build a wall to prevent people from fleeing.
Asbury Park was spening 36K per Student
They renamed Bangs Elementary to Barack Hussein Obama Elementary, the staff and students were in tears, this would raise the school and make it better give hope to students to do better, the blah blah blah
Before the name change only 14% of the students could read, today after the name change less then 7% can read. So much for that hope.
36K per student and only 7% can read?
Failure factories
It is going to get worse if they don’t build a wall to prevent people from fleeing.
Who needs a wall when you can blow the bridges and flood the tunnels
If they don't well then they are getting what they voted for.
Back when the Dow being down 12 points was a “skid”.
It would be laughable if it were not practically criminal, and the children being... left behind.
They want all those blue voters to move to red states.
And you could call a local phone number to get recorded updates on the stock market every half hour.
They're not the least bit squeamish about it. Dominion has removed fear of voters.
They criticize Trump as a braggart but Cuomo is as much a braggart or more than Trump.
And guess what? The media and CDC bureaucrats keep it quiet, but the States with the three worst deaths per 100,000 are NYC, New Jersey and Massachusetts. Three of the harshest lockdown jurisdictions. (OK New York State isn't in that elite class but Benito Cuomo is making upstate suffer for NYC's sins.)
So, where is Dr. Faustus' damn "science" that the lockdowns are effective at preventing spread of the disease???
Enjoy your christmas
For tomorrow we overthrow the commie socialist tyrants and anyone enabling, suporting, and protecting them.
