I met my husband in a very nice Irish pub in New York called "Finn MacCool's."

We don't go there anymore, though, because of the ban. I'll stay at home and pour my own drinks.

Regards,

PS: And yes, OUR Finn MacCool's is hurting badly, too. Used to be a line around the block to get in there on some nights....now it's a ghosttown after the dinner crowd leaves.

That's the story in MANY NYC pubs and clubs. Thanx to the Mayor.If it was up to him he'd have the town shut down buy 7:00pm

Well, the forced smoking bans in "some" cities but not all makes the business owners mad at the cities around them that still have smoking areas.  Because the smokers are going to the cities where they can smoke.  So the business owner's in the smoke free zones start screaming that they want to allow smoking again or shut down smoking in the surrounding areas for a "level playing field."

That's how the anti's work.  They pit towns against towns until the whole state is smoke free.
