The new policy which could go into effect as early as this Sunday spikes a buzz-killing blue law from 1934 that prohibited the sale of alcohol between 4 a.m. and noon on Sunday.

Outside the city, businesses can start serving alcohol as early as 8 a.m. up to 12 times a year a rule that could increase business during sporting events such as European soccer matches on TV here at early hours because of time differences.

New York City bar and restaurant owners didnt get the 8 a.m. option because community boards have received complaints about noise generated at brunch hot spots, lawmakers said.

That didnt make much sense to some in the restaurant industry.

I find it shocking that in the city that never sleeps, apparently, there are people who insist on sleeping in, said Scott Wexler, executive director of the Empire State Restaurant and Tavern Association.

Baah. You ain't been to London. Seriously NY is getting too square.

Talking of which I googled Albany-place needs all the help it can get.

Bloody Mary and a hamburger in NY for brunch my definition of paradise.

I saw some weekend cricket games and read about a topless book reading picnic club in the park.

I did want to play cricket though :/

One of the most remarkable things I found about moving from London to Los Angeles was the rarity here of encountering piles of sick outside bars, restaurants, random city pavements, and one's own doorstep.

This change in law is a stupid kowtow to the restaurant industry.

Most of us that live here don't want to put up with those public nuisances (or worse) outlined above. But since when are everyday residents consulted on matters like these?
