Here are a few items on tonight's CB3-SLA committee meeting (there are more applicants for places below Houston).
New Liquor License Applications
• Corp to be formed by Drew Popkin, 29 2nd Ave (op)
The owners of Cask on East 33rd Street and Bar Bonobo on Eighth Avenue are looking to open an Italian restaurant bar called Bambino between Second Street and Third Street.
Find the Bambino application (PDF!)
here, which includes a sample menu showing their brunch and dinner offerings.
• B Side (Flam Able LLC), 131 Ave C (op/removal from 204 Ave B)
B-Side's owners want to open a new bar at 131 Avenue C between Eighth Street and Ninth Street.
No. 131 has been vacant for some time. As far as we can recall, Babel Lounge & Hookah Bar was the last tenant, closing in 2017. (Babel had the storefronts at 129 and 131.)
You can find the B-Side questionnaire at this
link.
B-Side debuted on B in 2003 ... with the new owners taking over in
January 2021.
Items not heard at Committee
• Alison St Marks (Disfruting Two LLC), 110 St Marks Pl (wb)
Alison St. Marks is the name of a full-service restaurant that will serve lunch, dinner, and brunch at this spot between Avenue A and First Avenue. This
link has the questionnaire.

• G&I Food Hospitality LLC, 204 Ave B (wb)
As previously reported, B Cup Café is moving to a renovated 204 Avenue B, located just several storefronts south of its longtime home on the SW corner of 13th Street.
B Cup owner Guy Weizmann told us they will be expanding the café's menu and have later hours with the addition of a beer-wine license here at
the former home of B-Side.
Tonight's meeting is at 6:30. Find the Zoom link
