We've covered two of the big-ticket items already: Corner Bistro exploring an outpost on Avenue A and Sixth Street ... and the Penny-Claude team looking at possibly opening a new cafe on 12th Street at Third Avenue.
Here are a few other items of possible interest...
New Liquor License Applications
• Time Out New York (Manhattan) LLC, 124 E 14th St (op)
As we reported in late March, Time Out Market, Union Square, is opening a food hall on the ground floor of Zero Irving (formerly the Union Square Tech Training Center, 14 @ Irving, and tech hub) at 124 E. 14th St. (pictured above)
Here are details from Time Out on what to expect:
The 10,000-square-foot market hall will soon house seven kitchens, a fully-stocked bar and a stage set to host talent and performances from local artists. The 300-seat space will also feature an outdoor terrace. The new destination will build upon the legacy of Time Out Markets across the world — all with the mission of featuring the city’s best and up-and-coming culinary and cultural talents.
You can look at the questionnaire here to see more details. There is a list of potential vendors (some of which are possibly aspirational) that you will recognize. The market plans to open from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m., with an 11 p.m. weekend close.
Time Out currently has 10 similar markets worldwide, including a 24,000-foot converted warehouse that opened in 2019 in Dumbo.
The now-closed Urbanspace Union Square had its food hall here after a December 2022 debut.
• Village East by Angelika (Citadel Cinemas Inc), 181-189 2nd Ave (upgrade to op)
The theater is looking to upgrade its license from beer-wine to full liquor. (They received the OK for the beer-wine in late 2021.) The paperwork shows that there won't be any bar seating but a concession stand for someone to purchase a drink to bring into the auditorium. (There is also an expanded food menu that includes items like flatbread pizza.)
Many local theaters, including Metrograph and those operated by AMC or Regal, have alcohol sales — a standard practice now to help with revenue shortfalls at a time when people's moviegoing habits have changed coming out of the pandemic.
In January 2021, the State Liquor Authority ruled that movie theaters could now apply for beer and wine licenses, with consumption allowed in seats — not just from a lobby bar-cafe... ending a years-long debate about alcohol in theaters.
Items not heard at Committee
• Blue Dimsum NY LLC, 19 St Marks Pl (wb)
According to the paperwork on the CB3 website, the owners of Mountain House East Village are changing concepts at 19-23 St. Mark's Place between Second Avenue and Third Avenue.
The new place will be Blue Dimsum. There isn't any other info about it in the paperwork.
Mountain House, which has received positive notices via The New Yorker and The Times, opened here in late 2017.
You can visit the CB3 website for the list of restaurants and bars looking to open a sidewalk or roadway cafe. These items will NOT be heard before the committee.
Tonight's meeting is at 6:30. The Zoom link is here. This is a hybrid meeting, and limited seating is available for the public — the first 15 people who show up at the Community Board 3 Office, 59 E. Fourth St., between Second Avenue and the Bowery.
