NEW YORK — Shall we dance? In New York it depends on where we hear the music. A state judge on Monday dismissed a lawsuit that sought to force the city to allow private, social dancing in restaurants, clubs and bars. State Supreme Court Justice Michael Stallman found that the city’s license requirements for cabarets — places that have food and drink and allow personal recreational dancing — are constitutional.

I think somebody is just itching for a visit from Kevin Bacon.
