Blas boos booze outdoors
Julia Marsh
Mayor de Blasio panned a plan by his own Nightlife Advisory Board that would allow New Yorkers to openly dance and drink outdoors.
“I smile on dancing. I don’t smile on drinking in public places,” he said Monday when asked about The Post’s front-page story on the subject.
“I think there needs to be some really clear laws and standards. I think what we have now is pretty much the right way to go.”
In a report issued last week, the NAB — established by de Blasio in 2017 — offered ideas on how to boost New York’s nightlife and maintain good relationships between hotspots and their residential neighbors.
Among the NAB’s suggestions, under a section labeled “Nightlife Beyond Bars and Clubs,” was, “Drinking in the public space and dancing anywhere in the city should be regulated but not prohibited.”
