Wow, that sounds rather alarming – a 53% increase. Until you realize that probably translates to about 5 new full liquor licenses. The other distortion here is that the restaurants have raucous patrons. Police have been called out hundred of times and have found nothing. Zero. Zip. Nada. That why the license was renewed.

Nothing will satisfy these two troublemakers. For the most part the entire neighborhood hates them. For years the restaurants in question have been the target of slanderous accusations from these two. Furthermore what is missing from the article is their pattern of harassment of the establishments and their patrons. Conversations occurring in the yard have been illegal taped without consent in violation of NYS law and played back for the patrons to hear. They have been warned about this by the police. Illegal signage / billboards have been erected overlooking the yard telling people to be quiet. You need a license to erect signs and billboards. The neighbors have destroyed personal property of the restaurant and conducted other various forms of vandalism and criminal trespass. Customers who are deemed to be too noisy have been sprayed with hoses – criminal assault. And this is only the tip of the iceberg.
