The Cigar Resource pages have been taken down thanks to Mayor
Bloomberg's anti-smoking
legislation in New York City and Governor George Pataki nixing smoking in New
York State!
Stop by CLASH:
C.L.A.S.H. <Citizens Lobbying Against Smoker Harassment>
and voice your support for repealing this stupid legislation!
There are a few cigar bars in New York City. From the site NewYorkology:
Despite what you may read elsewhere, according to the health department, there are still only nine bars or restaurants in New York City that can legally allow smoking.
Consulates and military sites are not under city jurisdiction, so they could allow smoking if they wanted. The United Nations could, but it doesn't, as the U.N. banned smoking a couple years ago as well.
Smoking was banned in New York City bars and restaurants as of March 30, 2003.
The nine bars -- unchanged from the last time NewYorkology.com
checked with the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene a year ago -- are all
in Manhattan. One is a private invite-only club, at least one has a dress code
and some charge a fee if you don't buy your tobacco there.
Click on the blue link to see their sites for more
information. I would call ahead if I were you just to make sure they're still
open.
