Steven Greenberg, the owner of rooftop lounge 230 Fifth, either has a public relations stain on his collar, or he's a fair businessman who knows a bad customer when he sees one. On Wednesday night, Greenberg threatened to kick out a 40-person meeting of the Black Public Relations Society of New York off his roof when not one person in the entire group ordered anything from the bar, effectively commandeering a huge chunk of revenue-worthy deck space to hold their meeting, which was held without a reservation. Supposedly, BPRSNY members wanted to wait until their invited guest, CNN political pundit Jamal Simmons, was finished giving a speech before they ordered anything. (Much like when a bar shuts down at an event when a keynote speaker takes to the podium, we hate this policy.)

When Greenberg started yelling, some in the group quickly began placing orders, squashing Greenberg's fears and any potential to paint him as someone who thinks blacks are freeloading and cheap.
