Go to any neighborhood with a large number of illegals, and you will find homes with restaurants, rental rooms, convenience stores, and everything else. No big stories about that.
NY is just upset it isn’t getting its cut from the rich guys running this.

The Black community has been doing this for years and years.
Very common for someone to fix up a large room in the back of the house and serve meals for money.
Especially if the backyard is one an alley and cars can come and go off the street.
If you aren't known you don't get in...especially if you're a white guy.
Invite only till they know you. Good cooking - Home cooking.

Same same in about every immigrant community;as you mention.
People far away from home want the food they know.

Back in college, it was the same thing for me going to “unregulated” poker clubs. Same thing, cops bust one op, another pops up by word of mouth.

This truth bears repeating, and cuts through the nonsense of this.
