Cuomo and de Blasio make nice at annual Junior’s Cheesecake Breakfast
A tradition in Brooklyn politics was continued last Friday when Steve Cohn hosted his annual Cheesecake Breakfast at Junior’s Restaurant in Downtown Brooklyn, which was attended by members of the Democratic Party from all three branches of government.
The annual event, which takes place the Friday before Election Day, does occasionally feature political speeches, but is known more for being a relaxed event where political candidates can enjoy themselves for an hour or two in a collegial setting.
There were only three brief speeches on Friday morning — by Gov. Andrew Cuomo, Mayor Bill de Blasio and by Hon. Frank Seddio, chairman of the Kings County Democratic Party. The trio didn’t stump for any specific candidates up for election, but did speak about the importance of the Democratic Party members coming together.
