Absinthe wine bar closed on First Avenue near Seventh Street back in November... the place became
Lautrec Bistro.... now that place has closed... a new cafe is hoping to transfer the license here tonight during the
CB3/SLA meeting... the new owners want to operate the garden... which has caused
problems in the past...

Officials served Rico, the hookah joint on Avenue C between Ninth Street and 10th Street, with an eviction notice... (They
closed once and reopened about two months later back in 2008.)

And, I have no idea when this happened, but the McDonald's on 14th Street near First Avenue has a walk-up window now...
