Back on Friday, I noted that reps for the incoming Moxy East Village will appear before CB3's SLA committee tonight to seek liquor licenses for the hotel's four eating-drinking establishments.
Tao Group is the food and beverage operator and the Lightstone Group's partner at the Moxy East Village, 112 E. 11th St. between Third Avenue and Fourth Avenue. In addition to operating the eating-drinking choices at the Moxy Times Square and Moxy Chelsea, Tao runs more than 20 venues throughout New York City (Beauty & Essex, Tao Downtown, Stanton Social, etc.).
The questionnaire on file at the CB3 website for the Moxy, a Marriott brand, is 121 pages.
First, from the questionnaire, an at-a-glance listing of all the eating-drinking options inside the hotel...
The 13-stoy hotel's rooftop bar seems to be of particular interest to nearby residents, so I'll focus on that, starting with the diagram...
The questionnaire states that the rooftop bar is 2,600 square feet, with a capacity of 179. The proposed hours are 4 p.m. to 2 a.m. The kitchen closes at midnight. As for that kitchen, here's the menu...
Meanwhile, the main restaurant-lounge in the sub-cellar looks to be called MEV, short for Moxy East Village...
... which is awfully close to MEH.
The committee meeting starts tonight at 6:30. Location: The Perseverance House Community Room, 535 E. Fifth St. between Avenue A and Avenue B.

ReplyDeleteAnd now Landmarks is trying to kill The Strand by landmarking their building in either a knee-jerk reaction, or knowing The Strand can't go anywhere, a developer attempt to get the Strand out so they can take over the building.
ReplyDeletegarbage in... garbage out
ReplyDelete$11 bucks for french fries. place is a douche magnet.
ReplyDelete@11:32am: The Strand OWNS their building; they will only be "out" if they decide to be out.
ReplyDeleteAs for the Moxy food, guacamole & tortilla chips for $15; an order of fries is $11? Those are prices only mugs will pay.
BUILD IT FOR THE SUCKERS...THEY WILL COME...
ReplyDelete@ 11:32 a.m.: I don't see how the Strand can be "killed" by landmarking. They are making it seem like the existence of the institution and scores of union jobs are threatened because they might have trouble installing a coffee bar or a side entrance. All of a sudden they need a coffee bar to survive?
ReplyDeleteSomeone please explain to me how they Strand's existence is threatened. As 4:59 says, they own the building! Could this have anything to do with property values?
