Abolishing the Cabaret Law in 2017 was an important first step, and now we must finally fully repeal the antiquated zoning and unfair regulation that has been used to discriminate against Black, Brown, and queer nightlife establishments.
New York can't be the City of Yes if we still say no to dancing.
This new legislation passed on June 6 has overused both the Cabaret Law and the zoning rules of the '60s, allowing the nightlife industry to grow beyond its previous restrictions.
In our 24/7 city - the birthplace of hip-hop, salsa, and disco - the freedom to dance should be a right for all.
