I am chronically behind on CB1 news — and I missed the June agenda. I will catch up eventually? Maybe? But if there’s something you need to know, comment and I will follow up.
Meetings are still live on Webex and are also recorded and posted to the board’s YouTube page. You can also find documents and draft resolutions here. As always, contact the board at man01@cb.nyc.gov. My comments in caps.

I went to Buddha bar went it first opened and have also been to the original one here in 2006, the one in London (also closed), the one in Paris, and the one in Monaco. I feel Buddha bar here shot itself in the foot going with niche cute expensive menu items as opposed to sticking with what is/was served at the first Buddha bar New York, the ones in Paris/monaco, and what Tao menu is like.
