Okay, so this is important. The traffic all over New York City has increased dramatically. So, uh, I’m in touch with a lot of bar owners and restaurant owners and they’ve all seen not only the walk-in traffic, but it’s all for small private parties. So people will come in, you know, parties of 10 of 20, they want to find a nice nice place to eat, be relaxed, be together and watch the game at the same time. And that’s where I think for restaurants and bars, the real sweet spot is getting

are these small, um, what we call private events. and uh we booked a lot of them uh between now and the end of the uh, the year. Bye.

Jeremy, we’re always looking for line of sight on the consumer. Uh you have that and I’m just I’m curious how the consumer looks to you versus, you know, uh six months ago or 12 months ago. how how does this consumer look? Healthy, resilient? How are they holding up based on your business?

Well, you know, first of all, the big plus since the pandemic, it’s next is growth. I’m seeing the happiest New York City. The more people eating out. We’re seeing them happier and there’s more money out. And certainly the the Knicks uh championship has brought a lot of uh additional business to to restaurants and uh bars and then it just flowed right into uh the World Cup. So I think uh guests are happier. I think they’re spending more money. They’re staying out later. Um, and uh, and like I said, we’re booking much more business this June and July than we had last June and July.
