It’s time once again to pick through the preliminary agendas for the monthly CB1 committee meetings. They’re subject to change, so if an issue is important to you, check here before heading off to the meeting. My comments are underlined.

P.S. I usually clean up the formatting but LIFE IS TOO SHORT.

Maybe I’ll reserve now for a window table at North End Grill. (Oh, wait, I actually have plans to go that night! And I chose it because I thought BPC was the safest place to be on St. Patrick’s Day, when the hooligans come out!)

Location: Community Board #1 – Office, 49-51 Chambers Street, Room 709

1) 83 Walker Street, application for special permit under section Zoning Resolution Section 74-712 authorizing waiver of height and setback requirements – Resolution That’s the one with the facade that’s an inversion of a cast-iron building.

2) 374 Greenwich Street, Ayesha Sushi III d/b/a Hana Sushi – Discussion Not sure I understand. Ashiya is the name of the sushi restaurant at 374 Greenwich (IPN). Could it be getting replaced by Hana Sushi? There’s a Hana Sushi on Seventh Avenue and 21st St.

3) 225 West Broadway, application for restaurant liquor license for Tribeca #1, LLC, d/b/a TBD – Resolution The old Barzinho space; this keeps coming up and keeps getting pushed.

4) 329 Greenwich Street, application for a restaurant liquor license for Luigi Iasilli or Entity to be Formed d/b/a Max Tribeca – Resolution The big news: Max is taking over the Industria Argentina space. (And Industria Argentina owner Stefano Villa is officially on my shit list. Why lie and say it’s reopening in two weeks? We spoke a few days ago. Just say “no comment.”) The folks at Max said they’d likely be keeping the current space on Duane, but there was no decision yet as to what would be there.

5) 41 Murray Street, application for restaurant liquor license for Brendyl Inc d/b/a Eamonn’s Irish Pub and Restaurant – Resolution

6) 70 Franklin Street, application for restaurant wine and beer license for Entity to be Formed – Resolution The other big news: The Peter Tunny space on the north side of Franklin (at Franklin Place) looks like it’s going to be a restaurant. This jibes with what someone told me recently about a new bar on Franklin—I thought they must have meant Near & Far Food Co., ostensibly coming to the Lafayette Bar & Grill on the other side of Broadway. This discussion promises to be interesting: It’s a huge space on a residential street. Let’s see if I can’t dig up a photo of when it was a temporary bookstore/gallery thing…. Here we go!

8)    77 Hudson Street, new application for a sidewalk café license for Zutto Squared LLC d/b/a Zutto – Resolution Loading-dock seating would be nice there.

9)    71 North Moore Street (AKA 385 Greenwich Street), new application for a sidewalk café license for No Moore Oysters LLC d/b/a Smith & Mills – Resolution For what, one table?

10) 32 White Street (AKA 2 Avenue of Americas), new application for a sidewalk café license for Tribeca Grand Hotel, Inc. – Resolution Huh. I guess this must mean in front of the hotel? It’s kind of a crazy spot.

11) 385 Greenwich Street, application for restaurant liquor license for No. Moore Oysters and Maritime LLC – Resolution Same as above, presumably. Unless Smith & Mills is taking over Ivy’s Bistro….

3) Centre Street, application for a wine and beer license for Michael Sinensky and Sean McGarr d/b/a Little Town Market, Centre Street – Resolution An address would be handy. According to Blackbook, the two men “juggle the ownership of SideBar, Vintage Irving, The Big Easy, Hudson Terrace, and the Village Pourhouse”—it’s like an alternate-universe New York, because I haven’t heard of any of them—”along with Michael’s personal projects: corporate event management, “disco sushi,” and the NewYearsEve.com.”
