Boris Lidukhover is the owner of Sushi Dojo in the East Village (which got two stars from the New York Times); the question is whether he’s planning a jewelbox restaurant o the ground floor (and/?) or a bar below. The agenda says “liquor license” and not “restaurant liquor license,” which may or may not mean anything.
