NYC cabaret law

New York City's cabaret law has been around since 1926. It prohibits dancing in most bars in the city unless the venue has a cabaret license. But the City Council is set to vote on a bill Tuesday that will kill that law. As of right now don't even think about moving to the music in most bars in the city. Under the current law, bars have to be located, for the most part, in industrial areas to allow dancing.
