New York set to repeal 91-yr-old law banning dancing in bars
The New York City council has voted 41-1 to overturn a 91-year-old law banning dancing in bars and restaurants without cabaret licenses. The 1926 Cabaret Law, which affects all but 97 of the roughly 25,000 eating and drinking establishments, has not been enforced strongly for over a decade. It will be repealed once Mayor Bill de Blasio approves the measure.
