Mayor Bill de Blasio called for a city-wide boycott of Chick-fil-A last week, and it appears the people of New York have answered that call. The answer is a resounding "no." Both midtown Manhattan locations are reportedly raking it in, with long lunchtime lines that often stretch around the block.

Last week, Mayor de Blasio-- who is currently fending off several state and federal ethics probes -- urged New Yorkers to avoid eating at the politically incorrect eating establishment.
"What the ownership of Chick-fil-A has said is wrong," the mayor told reporters on Tuesday. "I'm certainly not going to patronize them and I wouldn't urge any other New Yorker to patronize them. But they do have a legal right."
City Councilman Danny Dromm piled on, accusing Chick-fil-A of "forcing their employees and volunteers to adhere to a policy that prohibits same-sex love," which is not even remotely true.
In the wake of their city government's anti-Chick-fil-A temper tantrum, New Yorkers are demonstrating that they just "don’t give a cluck" about what the the chain's CEO said about same-sex marriage four years ago. While their rivals are struggling, Chick-fil-A is doing so well in the Big Apple, the company is planning to add 12 new restaurants in the New York metro area over the next year.
Since Deblahblah’s boycott backfired, when do the broken windows and other property damage ensue?
When they looked for their first job in college, the Chick-fil-A experience got them hired on the spot. My youngest didn't even have to go in for an interview. They did it with a phone call and gave her a start date based on the experience.
Last year when some idiot verbally abused a Chic Fil A employee at the drive thru because he didn’t like the opinions of the owners. The libtard media tried to organize a boycott. I think they set sales records that week.
Wasn’t this guy some sort of executive that got fired after posting his diatribe online?
It's about control. Guys like that would spend the evening breaking people on the rack if they could.
Yes he was a corporate executive and he got fired. Adam Smith was his name. He thought his snarky smarmy smug liberal attitude of superiority would impress his fellow liberals.
But when he lost his job none of his liberal buddies were there to help him pick up the pieces.
Basically, if you are a government official telling everybody don’t go to CFA, you are basically a useful idiot advertising to go there. I mean come on DB, even the guy you want to punish is done campaigning against Deblasio’s own politics, isn’t that enough. Or maybe the guy is bitter because it makes for competition with McDonald’s and Burger King or some other wierd excuse.
The line was crazy at 46th street when I went there last week. Great service though, I was in and out in less than 10 minutes.
I’ve seen the line a number of times. It’s like they’re waiting for tickets to a rock concert!!!
Not gloating FRiend, but I have 3 within a couple miles.
I love CFA!
Fast Food Owner calls the Mayor’s office:
Hi Bill, we are opening up a new location in your city and by the way we are for traditional marriage.
Winning for them is just the first step toward annihilating the opponent. The existence of opinions that differ from theirs is intolerable. And because they’re psychologically incapable of any attitude but misery seeing happiness and kindness infuriates them. Identical to how demons are described in religious literature, a big clue as to what and who’s running things between their ears.
The difference between a DELEGATE primary and a VOTER one.
If we had one here I’d being buying some lunch.
LOL! I was in Midtown today and the Chick-Fil-A on 6th & 48th was packed! The line went around and down the block The employees were taking orders by iPad.
I was smiling from ear to ear!!!
Actually, it should be FUWW - Bill DeBlasio is his made up name - his real name is Warren Wilhelm
you tell-em DeBLOWsio, people don't what to eat next to RATS anyway! RATS NOT WELCOME
Yep.. Spot on synopsis! Long live the Chick fil a philosophy!
The boycott is working....the lines are so long, nobody goes there anymore........or something like that!!
Don't these genius vandals realize that an insurance company will pick up the tab and that their and their parents premiums will probably be raised as the direct result of their childish actions???
