TRIBECA BIKE LANES
Covered here. Beware: My attitude was bad (although I’m actually neutral on the lanes themselves). Also, this includes two other Department of Transportation initiatives that have nothing to do with bike lanes.

THE FLEA THEATER’S NEIGHBORHOOD INITIATIVE
People who live or work around here can get a free ticket at the Flea by using the code “Tribeca.”

LIQUOR LICENSE: TRIBECA’S KITCHEN (200 CHURCH/52 THOMAS)
The plans for Tribeca’s Kitchen, from the folks at Gee Whiz, and the reaction to them are covered here.

PHYSICAL-CULTURE SPECIAL PERMIT: 136 CHURCH/37 WARREN
It’ll include men’s and women’s facilities, and use strength training and cardio, but “with no machines.” So, more CrossFit? Vote: 6-0. UPDATE: The facility will be called Ultrafit. I can’t find anything online that matches up, so maybe it’s something new?

SIDEWALK-CAFÉ RENEWAL: THE HARRISON (355 GREENWICH)
Vote: 6-0.

BEER/WINE LICENSE: KORI TRIBECA (253 CHURCH)
The restaurant changed hands, so the license has to be transfered; it’s downgrading from a full liquor license to beer and wine only. Vote: 6-0.

BEER LICENSE: AROME CAFÉ (325 BROADWAY)
Deli wants to sell beer and it’s not open late. Vote: 6-0.

LIQUOR LICENSE: CAVIARTERIA (75 MURRAY)
Walter Drobenko (left), president of Caviarteria—it’s a caterer and mail-order company that’s looking to have a space of its own again—was on hand; he said the venue would be doing “the same kind of stuff” as when it was Silver Lining, although presumably with caviar. (He even said that the landlord would like him to host jazz there now and again.) Same hours as Silver Lining: 1 a.m. (Sunday-Thursday) and 2 a.m. (Friday-Saturday). Note: No lease has been signed yet. Vote: 6-0.

LIQUOR LICENSE: 35 LISPENARD
The plans of George Forgeois of Cercle Rouge to open a restaurant/bar with rooftop seating are covered here.

NEWSSTAND APPLICATION: 101 MURRAY
I was out in the hall asking about 35 Lispenard, so I missed the brief discussion, and I don’t know if anyone told the applicants that 101 Murray is being torn down to make way for a huge condo. Anyway, it was approved. Vote: 4-0.
