Does anyone have information about the license application for 401 Broadway? The clothing store on the corner of Broadway and Walker has a sign indicating it is applying for a liquor license. Any one have any idea what is going into that space?
They are on the agenda for the meeting on the 10th. I think they *may* be the guys I met last meeting, who were planning to open a place where you pay for a shift to play bar games. But that’s a guess…
Great CB coverage. Thanks
Regarding the cobblestones on Greenwich (south of Vestry) — I absolutely agree! How has this not been fixed for a year? And it keeps getting more dangerous. This is an accident waiting to happen. Please, CB1, make this repair a priority.
I’m going to the transportation committee meeting tonight. Hoping 5 Boro Bike Tour continues their noise control plan from last year. Would be frustrating if they go back to the previous 6 am multi block loudspeaker situation of past years.
