Businesses hit hard as NYC hotels house more migrants, less tourists: 'Ghost town'
Fox News
Wattle Cafe owner Ana Ivkosic joined "Fox & Friends" to discuss how the city placing migrants in a nearby hotel has affected tourist traffic at her restaurant.
Ivkosic said small-business owners like herself felt "blindsided" by the decision to place migrants at the "world's largest" Holiday Inn, located by her Manhattan café. She said her business relies on tourists for steady traffic, but now the hotel has become the "world's tallest migrant facility." Elizabeth Heckman is a digital production assistant with Fox News.
"All of a sudden, a lot of the revenue that we were relying upon from the tourists has essentially disappeared," said Ivkosic, adding that business owners did not know this would happen.
