Total sales for menu items like $2.50 cups of coffee and $10 acai bowls are down 75% some days. The cafe used to clear $2,000 on a good day in January but now might ring up only $500.
Restaurants owners in the area cried that once-bustling Rector Street has descended into a ghost town, which also keeps customers away. Liberatos says once-bustling Rector Street has become a ghost town since the Holiday Inn began housing migrants.Businesses near the ritzy Row NYC hotel in Times Square similarly have found themselves hurting as of late last year, when the cityGustavo Rosario, manager of the Iron Bar & Grill located across the street, estimated that Row NYC guests made up more than 25 percent of his customers.
Tourists at the ritzy Row NYC hotel were previously reliable source of customers for nearby businesses.Asif Sarker, who manages the I [Love] NY Gifts next door to Row, said sales for his store’s mementos such as $55 Fire Department sweatshirts and landmark snow globes have plunged 75 percent since migrants moved in.
Democrats only care about people who don’t pay taxes. They are letting them all in so they can soon vote democrat when they make non citizen voting a reality.
Let nyc die
Than vote differently
This worked in the early part of the 20th century but perhaps 'not so well today
I don’t feel sorry for a single person in New York. They voted for the b.s, now enjoy it.
ismaNYC so sorry about your business
You get what you vote for 🤷🏻♂️
You get what you vote for. Get your heads out of the sand 🤦🏻♂️
Racism is expensive 🫰 😂😂😅😅
It’s small businesses, Dems don’t care.
Good
No sympathy….These are the same businesses that have been hiring illegal immigrants for years. Now they complain that the migrant crisis is ruining their businesses…Hypocrites
As a kid, NYC was a crime ridden shithole. Then Rudy got elected and cleaned it up. Even Bloomberg did a good job. You could visit and have a good time there. Then they went woke and now it’s a crime ridden communist shithole again.
There’s a bunch of people in Ohio who would be more than happy and thankful if NY put them up in a hotel. But they are American citizens so Democrats don’t care.
A Democrat on City you might as well run away as fast as you can because all they're going to do is turn it into a third world city I guarantee it never vote Democrat if you want to be free Americans.
Looks like you could use a few hundred thousand more. Texas will keep delivering until Biden does his job on the border. You want to provide Sanctuary. Well, start providing….Dems.
But NY is a BrAnD
Elections have consequences 🤷🏻♀️
You don’t get to cast your vote against the southern states dealing with the crisis and then avoid any of your own negative impact from the crisis.
Getting what they deserve. After all, they voted for this and also enthusiastically supported the lockdown which hollowed out the city in the first place.
BUSINESS 101. Some presidents understand that.
Vote stupidly get stupid results.
A little window into what TX, NM, and AZ have been dealing with for much longer.
I’m all for helping the poor but how is it helping them by giving them four walls and a roof so they can kill themselves with drugs?
It’s Gotta be appalling
Sucks you voted for this.
But I bet you voted for these policies
Too little too late...just like they didn't speak up when Target moved in and drove out surrounding small businesses...
Exactly what the voters of NY asked for
Good
Good.
NYCMayor
Liberalism is a disease
I don't get why they are complaining, many of them voted for a Democrat so what do they expect
It’s about compassion not profit
How long are they going to live in these hotels? Tax payers are going to be paying for ever.
Yep. Not sure who thought this would be a good thing. NYCMayor
Elections have consequences… Biden and Harris have done ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to stop the fake asylum seekers who are DEMANDING nice accommodations…
NYC the next Detroit... coming soon
I'm supposed to be sorry for their poor voting habits?🤡🤡
Nobody seen that coming. Lol. Who would want to go to NYC now ? No thanks
NYC is a train wreck. Adams sucks. Hochul sucks. You get what you voted for NY
Blue state blues
Must be nice getting all that shit for free while the rest of us work.
Who would have thought replacing business people and tourists with illegals would see a downturn in local businesses.
vote blue and see what you get...enjoy
omg wow really
I don't want to be near those street-fouling migrants either. This is why I have not left the house since Desantis and Abbott started to ship them here...
Lower your expectation.
Fantastic! NYC gets all that it deserves
Well only if biden fixed the border none of this will be happening.
Illegals are killing our country
New York City is a joke
You voted for it so stop complaining.
Our ancestors never got a hand out no fancy hotels for them and they came legally through Ellis Island, whatever they got they worked for.
Business owners that are succesful adapt and overcome 'challenges'
Elections have consequences
If you complain and voted democrat. Sucks for you. If you’re Republican and this hurts you i feel so bad democRATS failed you and America.
You get what you voted for.
You get what you voted for, enjoy.
Stop voting Democrat. Until then stop complaining
Quit voting democrat
Congratulations on your liberal paradise 👏🙌🏆
Stop electing the same people if u want things to change.
Quit voting the same way
Yall voted for this too bad
They're Comin To America, and I mean everybody IMPEACHBIDENNOW
I don't give 2 💩's They voted for it They can own it
More like illegal alien squat sites funded by hardworking taxpayers who themselves are suffering under crushing inflation. Yet voters vote for this, vote for more, don’t mind electoral fraud, and persecute those who do. Not sure we’re going to survive 😞
