"People were buying sparkling wine and a bottle of liquor for both [outcomes]," said Sebastian, an employee at The Juice Box in Brooklyn's Windsor Terrace, who added that election night was "crazy" busy at the liquor store. "We were probably three to four times busier than a regular weekday."
"I think people felt relatively optimistic," Porcello, 30, told The Post. "Obviously, Park Slope leans in a particular direction, so there was a certain sense of optimism. But definitely people were stocking up all weekend too, because it was really, really busy all weekend."
"If it's busy, it's usually [in] the afternoon," he added. "Yesterday, it was [busy] during the day because people were nervous to see the results. We'll see if it gets busy today."
Employees were still restocking wine at Flatiron Wines & Spirits in Manhattan midday Wednesday after hours of nonstop lines Tuesday night, floor manager Brandon noted.
