When I was 16, I went to Playland (not the amusement park) in NYC and got my first fake ID. I was a Suny college student :) I remember one cold, rainy night me and about 7 other friends took shelter from the rain in a bar that later became the Sante Fe restaurant. I was 18, legal at the time, everyone else was 17. Sakofsky, a cop, was walking the beat and peeked in the window. One of the girls yells, "cop" and all the 17 year old kids darted out through the empty Kitchen and onto the back stairs. Standing a few seconds in the cold drizzle, the one girl said, "oh my God, all of our drinks, Pocketbooks and Jackets are at bar, he's going to wonder where everyone is!" So, I quickly volunteered to go back in. At this point he had begun a conversation with the bartender. He then looked at me as I took my seat at the bar, with my (then) shoulder length 80's style hair, misted with fresh drizzle and said, where's your friends? While scanning the bar stools with pink and "girly" Jackets draped over them, drinks with umbrellas, not touched. I said calmly, "in the bathroom". He said 5 girls at once? I said, "yeah, you know women", and he smiled and said, yeah, I do" and then went on his way.
Big thanks to the Sleepy Hollow Police Department. Let's see if the Town Board and Mayor ever step up to the plate.
