Danny Meyer is closing two of his eateries in a secondary impact from the migrant crisis.
Specifically, they’re located in the historic Redbury Hotel, which has opted to become a migrant shelter.
“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,” explained Meyer’s Union Square Hospitality Group. Oops: It had earlier insisted otherwise, but later realized that restaurants still recovering from the pandemic lockdowns need tourists and the kind of vibrant local scene that a shelter discourages.
Meyer says he’s still “fully supportive” of the Redbury serving as a shelter and will keep advocating for “policy change that expedites work permits for asylum seekers.”top
