From Community Board 1…. I tried something new this time: Instead of underlining my comments, I indented them on the line below. Might be easier to  read this way.

Please note that this is a preliminary list. Be sure to check the agenda page on our website at for any changes to agendas prior to the meeting dates. (ID is required to enter building)

5) 
Earth Matter – Presentation by Marisa DeDominicis, Co-founder, President and Director & Wylie Goodman, Advisory Board, Development
6) Street Co-Naming application, submitted by Bowling Green Association, to co-name Bowling Green Plaza as Evacuation Day Plaza – Possible resolution

Don’t people have a hard enough time finding their way around FiDi without giving places more than one name?

7) NEC Barclay St. and W. Broadway, application for a newsstand – Resolution

As if that area (see #4, above) isn’t congested enough!

8) 
85 Broad Street, application for a liquor license for LPQ 85 Broad INC, d/b/a Le Pain Quotidien – Resolution

Held over from July.

130 Water Street, application for a wine and beer license for New Water Café, Inc – Resolution
11) 108 Greenwich Street, application for a liquor license for Suspenders and Belt LLC, d/b/a Suspenders Restaurant – Resolution

That’s nice the pub found a new home. It had been at 111 Broadway.

12) 
388 Greenwich Street, application for removal of catering license for the sale of beer, wine and liquor from 399 Park Avenue to 388 Greenwich Street for Aramark – Resolution

388 Greenwich is for the Citi headquarters and consequently this belongs on the Tribeca Committee agenda.

13) 
1 Battery Park Plaza, application for a wine and beer license for Coffee House Holdings, Inc, d/b/a Starbucks Coffee #7244 – Resolution

In case you hadn’t heard, Starbucks is starting to sell wine and beer. (See below, too.)

1) Agendas to be determined

9/9 Tribeca Committee – 6:00 PM
Location: Community Board 1 – Conference Room, 1 Centre Street, Room 2202A-North
1) Volunteer at Hudson River Park’s Submerge: NYC Marine Science Festival, Saturday, Oct. 3rd, 2015, Hudson River Park’s Pier 26 – Announcement
2) 
Manhattan Borough President’s Office Small Business – Report
3) 93 Worth Street, application for a Board of Standards and Appeals special permit for a Physical Culture establishment for 93 Worth Street Gym, LLC – Resolution

That’s I.C.E. NYC, as covered here.

4) 281 Broadway, application for a Board of Standards and Appeals special permit for a Physical Culture establishment for CrossFit TriBeCa – Resolution

This Crossfit studio (right word?) has been there for a while now.

4) 
Application to rename the block of Sixth Avenue from Franklin Street to White Street to Avenue of the Americas – Resolution

This baffled me for a while—because what New Yorker would ever prefer “Avenue of the Americas” to Sixth Ave.—and then I realized the applicant must be DDG, the developer planning the building on that block. Indeed, I got clarification from CB1: DDG wants to use “One Avenue of the Americas” as the building’s address.

5) 349 Greenwich Street, application for restaurant liquor license for 349 Greenwich Street Restaurant LLC – Resolution

That’s the old Dean’s space, and this promises to be interesting: Is it celebrity chef Tyler Florence opening a second outpost of his Wayfare restaurant (the other is in San Francisco), or is it something else?

6) 
20 Warren Street, application for tavern liquor license for 20 Killarney Tavern Corp. d/b/a Tara of Tribeca – Resolution

It’s takes megaballs to ignore CB1 the first time you need their approval, instead going straight to the State Liquor Authority—and then come back to present again.

7) 221 W. Broadway, application for alteration of restaurant liquor license to permit use of a sidewalk cafe for North of Houston LLC d/b/a White Street – Resolution

Held over from July. I still wonder if they mean tables on W. Broadway (in front of that set of stairs?) or on White Street (the committee historically opposes café seating on side streets).

8) 
211 W. Broadway, application for new liquor license for Maman Tribeca LLC – Resolution

As covered here.

9) 175 Franklin Street, application for restaurant liquor license for entity to be formed by Jean Dupuy – Resolution

After I posted about how Sushi Tatsu had put a public notice in the window of 175 Franklin saying that its liquor-license application would be discussed at the Community Board 1 Tribeca Committee meeting, the CB1 agendas came out—including this. It’s possible that someone named Jean Dupuy is opening Sushi Tatsu. (The only Jean Dupuys I find online are a pro hockey player and a 90-year-old artist.) It’s also possible that CB1 got something wrong. And it’s also possible that the landlord is playing two potential tenants against each other…. UPDATE 8/30: Someone named Jean Dupuy is indeed opening Sushi Tatsu, with a former chef from Sushi Yasuda. The full details are here.

10) The following notices have been received for renewal, upgrade, or transfer of wine and beer or liquor licenses or sidewalk cafe permits:
—249 W. Broadway, application for renewal of tavern wine and beer license for 
Anotheroom Inc.
—339 Broadway, application for renewal of beer and wine license for Mon Cher Market 
Inc.
—145 Duane Street, application for a renewal of a wine and beer license for the 
Takahachi Tribeca Restaurant
—88 Reade Street, application for renewal of restaurant wine and beer license for 
Tribeca Hummus, Inc. d/b/a Nish Nush
—124 Chambers Street, application for renewal of liquor license for Ecco Restaurant
—429-435 Greenwich Street (AKA 62 Laight Street), application for renewal of 
restaurant and tavern liquor license for LKS Concepts LLC d/b/a Dylan Prime

Kind of doubt it, since the restaurant has closed, but if some percentage of the ownership wants to open a new restaurant there, a renewal would be more applicable than an application for a new license.

—77-79 Hudson Street, application for a renewal of a liquor license for Zutto
—281 West Broadway, application for a renewal of a liquor license for Pepolino
—6 Harrison Street, application for a renewal of a liquor license for Juna Sik

(Or whatever)

license for Terra

LLC d/b/a Petrarca
—131 Duane Street, application for a renewal of a restaurant liquor license for 
Radiante, LLC d/b/a City Hall Restaurant
—211 W. Broadway, application for alteration of liquor license for B & D Again, LLC, d/b/a Distilled NY
—135 Watts Street, application for renewal of liquor license for China Blue

1) 27-A Harrison Street, application to legalize existing rear yard fence – Resolution

That’s where Douglas Elliman is moving to.

3) 60 Hudson Street, applications for expansion of four louvers on 11th floor and new

Ugh, just say no. Haven’t they ruined the old Western Union building enough?

4) 399 Greenwich Street, application to approve existing awning and gooseneck lights at 
Greenwich Street Tavern sidewalk café – Resolution
