WHO YOU CALLING A SINNER?


What Does Sin Tax Mean?

A state-sponsored tax that is added to products or services that are seen as vices, such as alcohol, tobacco and gambling. These type of taxes are levied by governments to discourage individuals from partaking in such activities without making the use of the products illegal. These taxes also provide a source of government revenue.

Investopedia explains Sin Tax
Sin taxes are typically added to liquor, cigarettes and other non-luxury items. State governments favor sin taxes because they generate an enormous amount of revenue and are usually easily accepted by the general public because they are indirect taxes that only affect those who use the products. When individual states run deficits, the sin tax is typically one of the first taxes recommended by lawmakers to help fill the budget gap.
OK PEOPLE WHAT IS THIS THE 1920's ARE WE GOING TO HAVE TO START MAKING HOOCH IN OUR KITCHENS?
AND WHAT THE HELL IS UP WITH THE NAME "SIN TAX" HOW VERY JUDGEMENTAL OF OUR GOVERNOR, HOW SOON HE FORGETS ABOUT "THE SEAT BELT LAW" THAT BIT HIM IN THE ASS...WHEN HE WASN'T WEARING ONE, AND WAS BADLY INJURED. FOR A MAN FACING A GRIM ELECTION..(CAN WE SAY NOT A SHOT IN HELL) HE HAS BEEN SCREWING UP ALL OVER NEW JERSEY IN MY PERSONAL OPINION, SHIT WITH THIS HORRID ECONOMY ALL WE HAVE IS OUR "VICES" TO KEEP US HAPPY AND SANE IN LIEU OF GOING POSTAL FROM BEING BROKE, LAID OFF, OVER WORKED, UNDER PAID AND STRESSED OUT. BUT I GUESS WHEN YOUR A MILLIONAIRE JUDGEMENTAL PRICK YOU DON'T WORRY ABOUT THINGS LIKE THAT. JUST THINK ALL
GOV. McGREEVEY DID FOR THIS STATE, AND WAS REMOVED FOR HAVING AN AFFAIR AND COMING OUT THE CLOSET, BEFORE THAT WAS KNOWN THEY WAS APPLAUDING THE MAN ON HIS PROGRESS, AT LEASE WE WAS ALL STILL EMPLOYED AND THE ECONOMY WAS GOOD. I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW POLITICIANS GET AWAY WITH SUCH THINGS THAT ARE JUST DOWN RIGHT "POLITICALLY INCORRECT" BUT WHEN THEY DO SOMETHING IN THERE PRIVATE LIVES ITS BLOWN OUT OF PROPORTION, BUT I' AM YET TO HEAR ANYONE STAND OUT TO SAY THAT THIS NAME "SIN TAX" IS JUST WRONG....HOW ARE WE INDIVIDUALS IF WE ARE LEAD BY PEOPLE WHO WANT TO PUT THERE BELIEFS ON US OR CAST US DOWN FOR WHAT WE DO BELIEVE IN...I GUESS SOON WE WILL BE IN A STATE OF RUSSIA (WITHOUT THE VODKA)...LOL

SHOPPING AND FOOD...TOGETHER AT LAST!






202


75 Ninth Ave., New York, NY 10011 near. 16th St. See Map Subway Directions 646-638-1173 Send to Phone




The line between food and fashion has become even blurrier with the opening of 202, a restaurant actually tucked into a high-end store for fashionable attire, housewares, and antiques from Paris and the South of France.

The whole affair is the brainchild of London-based designer Nicole Farhi, and resembles her Notting Hill store of the same name. The dark hardwood floor and ceiling in 202's warmly rustic space are set off by racks of clothing for men and women, glasses and tableware, and funky furniture—squat Deco club chairs, towering country cupboards, and etched-glass framed mirrors. The actual dining area has ancient tables and bentwood chairs, with a communal table that's said to be a relic of a French prison (ugh) and the round bar with mixed chairs for a french bisro feel. The Chef Annie Wayte's menu leans toward Mediterranean with a french flare, with starters like warm goat cheese salad and prosciutto, sweet figs, and complimentary toasted pistachios. Served on the lunch menu, lemon creme fraîche-daubed smoked salmon with blini-thin scallion pancakes, leading up to English favorites like crunchy fish and chips and the potato-cabbage medley bubble and squeak. Stefan (the bartender) signature cocktails like honey mojitos, with Ron Zapaca Rum, fresh mint, and honey ease the entire experience.



*We recommend— I had the warm goat cheese salad, which was $16 and had the tuna burger w/guacamole,$18;
My mom had the scallion pancake w/ smoked salmon and lemon crème fraîche,$13; ; and Frank had the fish & chips, $19 .....all was delicious!
