No Fla. sunshine for Jerry

Jerry Seinfeld’s passionate takedown of a skeptic of New York City’s chances of recovery has made him the target of his own takedown — for picking on Florida.

Tampa Bay Times columnist Stephanie Hayes, a self-professed Big Apple fan, initially praised the comedian for his “flamethrower” burn of James Altucher’s Post column calling Gotham “dead forever” — but stopped short when Seinfeld “dragged” the Sunshine State into the back-and-forth.

“He made some cogent and funny points, then dragged Florida into it, screaming from her dunes,” Hayes complained of Seinfeld’s op-ed, which she claimed painted Altucher as having “given up” by moving to Miami.

Acknowledging that she was writing “a column responding to a column responding to a column” — and joking that it made it a “portal to hell” — Hayes said using Florida as the butt of the joke was predictable and tired.

“For the 9,000th time. Picking on Florida is punching down. It’s pantsing the kid at school whose only friend is an oddly smooth rock,” Hayes wrote.

Mayor de Blasio on Tuesday thanked Jerry Seinfeld for penning a passionate op-ed in defense of New York City in a response to — as the comedian put it — a “putz” who claimed the Big Apple was “dead forever.”

“I want to take a moment to thank Jerry because this is what a true New Yorker does — stands and fights and works to make this place better no matter what’s thrown at us,” de Blasio said at his daily press briefing.

Hizzoner quoted from the “Seinfeld” star’s response to hedge-fund manager and comedy-club owner James Altucher, who wrote that Gotham was damaged beyond repair in a viral essay that ran in The Post.

“It will sure as hell be back because of all the real tough New Yorkers, who unlike you, loved it and understood it, stayed and rebuilt it,”

Seinfeld claimed in The New York Times this week.

“That’s the vast majority of all of you out there because that’s what we’ve seen time and time again,” de Blasio said.

De Blasio then rattled off crises the city has weathered since the 1960s, including 9/11, Hurricane Sandy and the Great Recession. From each, he said, “People fought back. New Yorkers fight back, that’s what we do.”

“To all the people who really love this place, to all the real New Yorkers, of course we’ll come back,” he continued. “So thank you,

Jerry, well said, brother.”

On Monday, Altucher, writing in The Post again, called Seinfeld’s comeback claims wishful thinking. “Denial won’t help anything,” he said. “Failing to address problems won’t save Gotham.”
