It's actually the neighborhood associations that will be selling beer at the Street Festival to raise a few bucks to put on great events like the Fourth of July celebration in Bryant Park.
There is plenty of beer, food and other money to go around. I don't see any problem with the City selling beer with tips to the neighborhood associations. The restaurants are so packed and busy that you can't get into them to even get a beer .
Of course the biz owners are going to say we should have exclusive right to sell, great way to jack up their prices and make a ton of money. What the city should be worried about is providing a fun, enjoyable, safe experience for residents and visitors. And as a resident I prefer not to pay double for a beer or stand in a long line so I say hear hear to the City selling beer.
we'll get to see the city competing with the merchants by selling beer in open containers. Great going.
ReplyDeleteIt's such a zoo down there. I'm debating whether to attend or not.
