Private party room under way for Planet Rose on Avenue A

It appears that Planet Rose at 219 Avenue A is prepping to expand into the space next door...



The space formerly housed a beauty salon... and, last summer and part of the fall, this sign was above the storefront, as you may recall...



Planet Rose tried last year to get approval for the 300-foot expansion for a private party facility... the BC3/SLA committee said only if they followed a few directives. As Eater reported in March 2009:

The bar has been in operation for nine years with no complaints. The committee voted to deny unless they agree to operate the new space as a karaoke facility, close at 2 am on Sun - Wed and 4 am on Thurs - Sat, install sound proofing, promise to host charitable and community events.

    This is a good example of the inconsistency of cb3 because in june 08 they were denied with a completely different rationale.
