Leftist restaurateur Danny Meyer is getting hit right between the eyes with results of the policies he embraces.

In May, New York City Mayor Eric Adams complained that 50% of the city’s hotel rooms are now occupied by illegal migrants. This is a massive loss in tourism dollars for the city.

As tenants of the Redbury, our two restaurants, which occupy the lobby floor, have been eagerly anticipating the hotel’s full post-pandemic reopening. Now, as the Redbury partners with the City to house asylum seekers, it’s become clear that the timeline for that reopening has been extended indefinitely. While we admire and respect the Redbury’s decision, the viability of our business relies significantly on hotel-related F&B operations, including event venues and the lobby bar, spaces that are now unavailable for our use.
We remain fully supportive of the Redbury’s initiative and will continue advocating for policy change that expedites work permits for asylum seekers.
