Well.....
	This one has nothing to do with New York. In ~94 New York passed a LAW
that says NO ONE can bother a mother breast feeding, exposed or not.
This means cops, mall cops, people offended, etc. Not sure what the
penalty is, but the law was passed about a year after my daughter was
born. Anyone who knows more, let us know.
