A pair of robbers tied up an Upper East Side restaurant owner and an employee as they held them at gunpoint in the pursuit of cash, cops said Monday.
The duo barged into Nino’s Italian Restaurant on First Avenue near East 73rd Street around 2 p.m. Sunday — one of them brandishing a silver handgun — and targeted the 65-year-old owner Nino Selimaj, police said.
Selimaj told The Post he was only in the store for a short time preparing for the Super Bowl rush when one of the robbers came in, waving the gun at him.
“He said, ‘Go down, motherf–ker, go down!’” Selimaj said. “He had a silver pistol pointed at me in the middle of the dining room. I said, ‘I’m down.’ He got on me, tied my hands.”

I have no sympathy for anyone in NYC who isn’t a Freeper.
Call the Police! Oh wait, I forgot…you defunded them. I just find it hard to show sympathy for any business owner who has not figured out that New York is no place to run a business. Should have shut down and moved to a free state long ago.
“Cool?”
Exactamundo!

Squeegee men back yet at intersections? That’ll be entertaining in the iPhone video era.
Just peachy.
What kind of restaurant has $9k in cash? Don’t most patrons use plastic these days?
Here in Indianapolis the panhandlers advertise their Venmo addresses. High tech has arrived to the heartland....
There was a time in America if someone heisted an Italian restaurant they’d get awarded a set of cement swim fins.
