Battery Park City

2) 455 North End Avenue, application for liquor license for Brookdale Battery Park – Resolution

The seniors don’t already have booze?

3) The following notices have been received for renewal, upgrade, corporate change, minor alteration or transfer of wine and beer or liquor licenses, renewal of sidewalk café permits and recurring street closure permits:
—30 West Street, application for renewal of liquor license for Osteria

Augustine has had a liquor license since it opened. So this is either a renewal (most likely) or something like a change in ownership.

Tribeca
1) 50 Varick Street, discussion on meaning of the original stipulations; application for change in method of operations for rooftop usage, hours and sound amplification for Spring Studios – Resolution

Be alert, neighbors: Spring Studios will only get busier and noisier—and become more of a nuisance—if you let it.

2) 71 Worth Street, application for wine, beer and cider license for Wine Bar 71 Worth LLC – Resolution

Pushed from July, this is about the former RBC café space near Atera (and from Atera’s owner, I believe).

Presumably because of the change of management/ownership.

More on Chefscape and the former American Flatbread space here.
