Still, the curfew wouldn’t make a difference, some beachgoers told Daily Beast.

One of them is Q Johnson, a 20-year-old student at Manhattan College, New York.

“It’s so crazy in here,” said Johnson. “This is messy, too many people out here breaking the law.”

Then Jeb Jones (24), a final year student at the University of Illinois, said the least crowd was queuing to get into McDonald’s.

“The curfew will not stop me. We will continue to party. The bar is great,” Jones was quoted as saying New York Post.
