The Unconstitutional Constitutional
Posted: March 26th, 2011 | Filed under: Blatant Localism, See, The Thing Is Was . . .Officials at Community Board 6 want to outlaw organized pub crawls, claiming the booze-filled jaunts lead to late-night noise and bad behavior on their streets.
“It creates havoc,” said Toni Carlina, the district manager of the community, which covers 14th St. to 59th St. east of Madison Ave.
“Nobody wants to ruin anybody’s good time but people have to be considerate of their neighbors — and so do these bar owners.”
The board aims to pass a resolution banning the liquor trips at a March 31 meeting. They hope the advisory ruling, which would have no legal standing, will prompt state or city politicians to draft a law.
