Brooklyn pols flock to pre-vote breakfast

Posted

Brooklyn’s political establishment rallied as it always does on the Friday morning before election day — at Junior’s Restaurant in the newly-chic Downtown district, for Steve Cohn’s cheesecake breakfast.

Cohn, a leader in the borough’s Democratic Party, drew about 200 elected officials, civic leaders, political consultants, media people and others with an interest making the city tick. A section of the popular eatery served kosher food.
