From the in-box this morning:
August 16th, 2010
Here’s a reminder about Thursday night’s big Community Board 3 meeting looking at it’s much-maligned bar/restaurant liquor licensing policies. If you’re a resident frustrated with the growing number of clubs and bars in the neighborhood — or an operator who believes CB3′s SLA Committee is capricious and unfair — this is the time to speak your mind. The community board will be looking at a wide range of contentious issues. Near the top of the list: designated “resolution areas,” certain blocks that have been deemed so over-saturated with bars that CB3 requires applicants to “demonstrate (the) public benefit or (show) substantial support from the surrounding community.” Continue reading CB3 Re-Evaluates Liquor Licensing Policies Thursday August 3rd, 2010
Yesterday, we talked with Daniela Libertini, who’s planning to open the New Mexican-style cantina along this lonely stretch of Grand Street with her fiance, Bobby Gonzales. She told me the menu will be made up of simple, home-style dishes — many of them featuring New Mexico’s much sought after hatch chile. Think tacos, enchiladas, Mexican-style corn on the cob, guacamole, nachos and hot cheese dip — among other offerings. The place will be called La Flaca (Mexican for skinny girl). Continue reading More on the New Mexican Restaurant at 384 Grand July 28th, 2010

Eater picked up one of the restaurants mentioned — Dans Le Noir. The Euro chainlet had planned to go into a space on East 21st. Street, but Eater says opposition from the community has now prompted them to head downtown. Continue reading Dans Le Noir Brings Dining in the Dark to the LES July 28th, 2010
Here’s an early look at some of the bars/restaurants seeking Community Board 3′s approval of their liquor license applications. The SLA Committee meets August 16th, 630pm at the JASA/Green Residence, 200 East 5th Street.
The full agenda isn’t posted on CB3′s web site just yet, but you’ll be able to see it there shortly. July 28th, 2010
As we reported last month, Community Board 3 has decided its time to revisit the policies of its SLA Committee, which evaluates bar/restaurant liquor licenses. That meeting has now been scheduled for Thursday, August 19th, 630pm at University Settlement’s Houston Street Center, 273 Bowery. Continue reading CB3 Schedules “Policy Meeting” For Liquor Licensing Committee July 26th, 2010
Since we posted the news on Friday about the new Mexican (or is it New Mexican?) restaurant applying for a liquor license at 384 Grand Street, Community Board 3 has apparently been getting an earful. Susan Stetzer, CB3′s district manager, says emailing letters and calling the office is not such a great idea. Instead, she suggests, come to the SLA Committee meeting in person on Monday, August 16th, with letter in hand. Better yet, coordinate your efforts with neighbors, and bundle your letters in one packet. As we reported last week, the restaurant is looking to take over Two Boots’ full liquor license and stay open until 4am. CB3′s August agenda hasn’t been posted yet, but we’ll let you know when it’s available online. July 23rd, 2010
