According to the NY Post, the TGI Fridays on Broadway and Exchange Place was just closed due to a raid by the NYPD.
A man who cops say sold cocaine for years at a T.G.I. Friday’s in the Financial District yesterday blamed his turn to crime on the bad economy.
“I got laid off. I was just trying to make ends meet, and that’s why I’m selling,” Tony Younge, 50, said before his arraignment in Manhattan Supreme Court on 17 counts of cocaine sale and possession.
This place is right around the corner from my office. I should have been going there instead of getting salads from Hale and Hearty!
I’m joking, of course. I’m well aware that crime doesn’t pay. Though, in other news…this is not the first food establishment near an employer of mine that’s been closed due to the sale of controlled substances. New York is never dull.
