As predicted, the $15 wage is killing jobs all across the city

Just as predicted, the $15 minimum wage is killing vulnerable city small businesses, with the low-margin restaurant industry one of the hardest-hit as it also faces a separate mandatory wage hike for tipped staffers.

In Sunday’s Post, Jennifer Gould Keil reported on the death of Gabriela’s Restaurant and Tequila Bar — closing after 25 years. It struggled all year to find a way out, gradually laying off most non-tipped employees, including some chefs, only to find that quality suffered and customers fled. Owners Liz and Nat Milner finally hung it up.

Dont worry..the City will be saved by the 45 or 50 Breweries that have sprung up in the city...Some at taxpayer funded credits...what the hell...all the immigrants coming into our city...just cant wait to belly up to the bar..to spend $6 or $7 for a fresh custom brewed beer!

Right on, Joe D. And the more that custom brewed beer tastes like elephant piss the more some people will cough up for a glass.
