Everybody thought it was going to kill, or at least hurt bar business. A few years later I can tell you that I think it's a great idea, and I'm not usually for these so-called 'quality of life' laws. Bar and club business in this town is still booming, in fact they can't build them fast enough in the Meat Packing District and the East Village. And now I can go out, hang out at a bar or see a band at a club and my clothes don't smell like smoke at the end of the night. The only people whose business this is gonna hurt is the makers of Febreze. As far as this arresting drunks at bars...I mean, isn't that why people go to bars in the first place? What's next? Arresting people at restaurants when they over eat? Tell me if I'm wrong, but isn't it the responsiblity of the bar/bartender to eject the people that get really, really drunk and obnoxious?
