Business should pick up. I worked as a lobbyist for a couple of years, and I was amazed at the number of state legislators who just couldn't make drive home at the end of the day's session. They always had company, though, and that company was usually decades younger.

Higher end Restauranteurs will tell you that business picks up a bit during the general assembly since Lobbyists are smoozing our elected officials. I know Rays in the City gets a bit more crowded this time of year on the Fridays I make it to mid-town. I don't work there, just an observation.
