Eateries shut to protest Prez

own life was changed when a woman and her daughter immigrated here from Belarus a quarter-century ago.

“Who knows where my best friend and her mother would be?” she asked. “They’ve been here 24, 25 years. I can’t imagine.”

Fellow out-of-towner Ken Burke, 57, offered a more conservative take on the missing workers.

“Legal immigrants are a big part of our country,” said the Florida man, whose Irish ancestors came to the U.S. a century ago.

“I think all Americans support immigration,” he continued. “They just support legal immigration.”

The Lenwich sandwich shop on Water St. in lower Manhattan left a sign in its front window Thursday explaining its decision to remain closed.

“We recognize that many of our employees, their families and friends are impacted by the changing immigration policies,” the sign read. “Lenwich respects their wish and right to participate in a protest today.”

The seven businesses under the Blue Ribbon restaurants banner were also closed for the day “in support of our employees and #ADayWithoutImmigrants,” the company said on its website.

The La Sirena Ristorante in the East Village and the 51st Bakery & Cafe in Long Island City, Queens, also were among the eateries closed for the day in support.

Along with New York, protests were held in Washington, Philadelphia, Boston, Chicago, Houston and other cities.

A Senate coffee shop inside the U.S. Capitol was closed as well when the employees took the day off.
