Community Board 3 is out with the agenda for its September liquor license hearing. There are a number of intriguing items, including a possible (emphasis on “possible”) project from Russ & Daughters, the legendary appetizing store. We’re told not to get too excited about the prospect right now, that it’s very premature, but a guy can always hope!
The shop, in business since 1914, is a fixture at 179 East Houston St. The CB3 agenda includes a listing for a “Russ & Daughters Cafe” at 127 Orchard St. We checked in with R&D management and were advised that there’s really nothing to say just yet. But that, no doubt, will not keep locals from speculating! See below for the full lineup.

Dimes on Division Street bills itself as a health food cafe. Then why are they already applying for a wine and beer license before they have opened? Perhaps it will really be a bar before long??
Well if just say that as a person who welcomes a place that tends towards food that is healthy I would enjoy a beer or wine with my meal and that is not an odd idea I’d think.
Late on this, but why is Jules Bistro under new liquor license applications? Don’t they already have one already? Also, any updates on who got licenses and who got rejected. Thanks.
