Table for none! How NYC diners are forced to battle bots, apps and influencer hype at the city’s hardest-to-book restaurants

Securing a table at a top NYC restaurant has long required some planning and a great deal of patience. Lately, however, going out to dinner in the Big Apple has become a full-on competitive sport — call it the Hunger Games — complete with a list of unwritten rules and strategies for winning. Eager diners in the five boroughs and beyond have become accustomed to setting alarms for midnight reservation drops, they spend unhealthy amounts of time on Resy and OpenTable, hitting the refresh button, battling not just a bevy of bots unleashed online by shady third-party table brokers, but all-too-real influencers as well, not to mention the social-scrolling hordes who follow them from spot to spot. You thought queuing for Taylor Swift seats on Ticketmaster was hard? Try getting into the Polo Bar on a weekend — or any night.

NYC Council Dems float bizarre plan to crack down on the supermarket self-checkout line

Left-leaning members of the NYC Council are considering bizarre new legislation that aims to curb retail theft — by penalizing customers and business owners rather than criminals. NYC supermarkets and pharmacies would be forced to impose a 15-item limit for customers using self-checkout lines, and have at least one employee assigned to every three of those lines, or face daily fines of at least $100. “We’ve seen the consequences of removing workers from these spaces: increased retail theft, less oversight, fewer protections for both workers and customers, and generally decreased safety,” said Councilwoman Amanda Farias (D-Bronx) while introducing the legislation Tuesday. Left-leaning members of the NYC Council are considering bizarre new legislation in a bid to curb retail theft by penalizing customers and business owners instead of criminals. Helayne Seidman for the NY Post “This bill is about protecting good jobs, supporting workers on the front lines and creating a more secure shopping environment for New Yorkers,” added Farias, contending the 15-item limit is to “maintain safety, accountability, and fairness in the checkout process.” The legislation’s rollout comes on the heels of the Council’s far-left faction trying to drum up support for a separate bill backed by socialist Mayor Mamdani

The 'Fairness' Law That Could Raise Grocery Prices for New Yorkers

Progressives across the country are busy selling an "affordability" agenda, but so far, many of their ideas for enacting that agenda are destined to raise rather than lower the cost of living. The latest example comes from New York state, where legislators have introduced legislation that effectively cracks down on price differences between large and small grocery stores. If the law passes, consumers will likely face higher food prices and less money in their wallets.
