Articles from Gothamist have been condemned by the DEC and DOH as "misinformation" and the outlet has "refused to use the information provided" by the DEC and DOH
The Royal Palms has been thoroughly vetted by the DEC and DOH to ensure we are maintaining a safe and compliant space for our community.
Investigations revealed that our air quality has always been within a safe and healthy range, and we continue to meet these standards to this day.
As a small business that relies on our community of patrons, we have been incredibly hurt by the inaccuracy of this article. We urge you to review and share the statements from government agencies below, which are backed by science and thorough investigations.
The happiness and wellbeing of our staff and our guests has always been our priority and we would never put that at risk.
