I’ve been receiving numerous messages seeing me standing behind the mayor during his major tv press conference. I must share this. It was once shared with me there are over 10,000 rules on the books for small businesses to follow or be shut down. These 50 initiatives are important as a first step in the sea of rules that handcuffs small businesses from creating more jobs and tax for the ny economy. I stand behind the mayor and the deputy mayor of Economic justice Julie Sue to continue this effort considering not everything asked for was granted. As small businesses owner and an executive board member of @thenycalliance representing over 20k hospitality businesses I stand as a watchful eye on the over 10k other rules causing havoc for us. Please continue to listen and make the necessary changes. In order to make a city affordable for New Yorkers we must make it affordable for the smallest businesses in nyc too. As always on the road to @Neirstavern 200th milestone year, I still believe community conquers all.

Sad to see another long standing restaurant close after Nearly 4 centuries. My goal when @Neirstavern was days from closing 16 years ago was to bring it to 200 years. It’s now 196 years on the road to 200 years in 2029. Every year we host a block party (10/3 12p-6p 197th year) in hopes of reminding everyone we still exist and to continue their recurring visits and introduce others. Let’s do the same for more of our small business. Thanks @Neirstavern Ambassadors club for their support
