Milk Street Cafe, the restaurant whose business dried up in the face of the Occupy Wall Street barricades, is shutting down.

Thursday will be the last day for the 23,000 square-foot eatery that opened at 40 Wall St. in June, the Daily News has learned.

Epstein blamed the barricades that remained in front of his restaurant even after the Occupy Wall Street protestors were removed from Zuccotti Park.

“This is now the 12th straight week of the barricades,” he said.

The restaurant owner, who operates an eatery and catering business in Boston, said he pressed the city daily for their removal, but got nowhere.

Milk Street Cafe’s closure will result in the layoff of 70 workers. That’s on top of the 21 let go in October.

When asked whether he would ever open a restaurant in New York again, Epstein responded, “Never.”

liberals/leftists dont care about jobs they care about fairness, whatever the +*%$@ that is and so if leftards make it so that taxes are too high or regulations are too onerous and a company goes out of business or leaves the state or city for greener pastures and hundreds of people are left without jobs it is barely a blip on thier mental radar screens. so this is more of the same. and of course the leftard powers that be in new york ride along in that same mental boat.

Remember when Obama said he wanted a civilian security force that was as strong as, and equaling funded as the military. Will the occupiers be the ones he recruits from?
