CB3 released its November calendar of meetings yesterday ... including the two nights of fun for the SLA licensing committee. Lots of items on the agenda this month, including a new home for Lucky Cheng's on Ludlow Street.
Here's a look at some of the applicants over the two nights. We'll pass along more info once it becomes available.

This is the address of d.b.a. Dennis Zentek, who opened d.b.a. in 1994 with friend Ray Deter, died on March 23 from injuries he suffered in a fall. Deter died in July 2011 from the injuries he suffered in a bicycling accident.

Looks like there's a taker for the former Shima space at East 12th Street. We noticed that the for rent signs were down the other day.

Applications within Saturated Areas

Lucky Cheng's, which closed its Midtown location last summer after the death of owner Hayne Suthon, looks to be making the move back downtown permanent. (They had been operating out of the DL on Delancey Street.)
The Living Room was the most recent tenant at 154 Ludlow St.

Hmm, this is the address of Simone Martini Bar.

There are signs up along upper Avenue A from a tenants' group saying that Destination bar (A @ 13th) is shopping around its liquor license -- does anyone know anything about that? Also, can anyone explain the concern? It's already a bar, so if it becomes another bar … it's not like a new bar. It's entirely possible I've become numb to bar openings and am missing the potential terribleness of this.
ReplyDeleteit's not like a new bar. It's entirely possible I've become numb to bar openings and am missing the potential terribleness of this.
ReplyDeleteTHE FACT THAT YOU HAVE BECOME NUMB TO BAR OPENINGS should tell you there are too many!
plain and simple - we have too many bars and bakeries, galleries, laundries, etc. that serve alcohol - that draw the underaged that flock here amidst the bridge and tunnel crowd, not to mention the tourists.
we are losing the backbone of the neighborhood to bars, expensive restaurants and trendy stores while establishments that have been here for generations are being forced out.
you're a little late, it was approved last week
ReplyDeleteblue glass, you really don't need to scream at me. Believe me, I live above THREE bars and I don't enjoy it. I was simply asking if there was something *particularly* problematic about Destination selling its license.
ReplyDeleteJFC, these comments have become so deeply unpleasant. I have been nothing but anti-bar, anti-predatory equity, anti-Santacon etc etc for years at this site, don't fucking yell at ME.
yeah 9:55, I guess I am a little late. Because I rarely leave my apartment when I'm home … and never go to bars ;)
ReplyDeleteWhat's the point of these meetings applications anyway, since all will be approved as long as they serve "food". Well, all except for Lucky Cheng's since the suburbanites in the city, soccer moms, the East Village and LES Today, will be complaining, "Won't somebody please think of the children?!?!!!"
ReplyDeleteI really don't get it. Blue Glass is allowed to yell at a commenter, but that commenter isn't allowed to tell her not to do that? All righty then.
ReplyDelete@ anon 10:12 & 11:30
ReplyDeleteSome times every so often an hour or so goes by where I don't have access to check comments. Like when I'm at a funeral.
So sorry for your loss, Grieve.

ReplyDeleteIf you'd like please contact us at northavea@gmail.com with any concerns you might have about bars on the block.
Destination was sold to a guy who has another bar on Ludlow and says he wants to be responsive to all noise issues- and improve the food. CB3 approved the sale but with the stipulation that windows must be closed by 10pm.
I am sorry for your loss, Grieve (this is 11:30).
ReplyDeleteIt's my problem, anyway - I think I'll just take a break for a while.
EVQP, Ditto.
