From "Footloose." Rev. Moore, seen here reacting to someone saying,
"Actually, this meeting could have been an email."
From the SLA yesterday:
Governor Kathy Hochul today announced a new policy to eliminate outdated restrictions on dancing in bars and restaurants. Effective immediately, the New York State Liquor Authority (SLA) will no longer require applicants to disclose whether dancing will be permitted by patrons or consider questions on the application about patron dancing when reviewing on-premises license applications.This policy change builds on Governor Hochul;s broader efforts to support live performances, arts and entertainment across New York and to modernize policies impacting the state’s nightlife and hospitality industry.
In 1997, Mayor Giuliani resurrected and enforced a Prohibition-era statute known as the Cabaret Law as part of his "quality of life" campaign. Per the Internet, the New York City Cabaret Law, originally passed in 1926, prohibited dancing in any public space selling food or drink unless the establishment obtained a special, difficult-to-get "cabaret license."
