Alyssa Yoey, attorney for the concessionaire Boots and Beer, explained that Tacovas (a Texas-based chain of Western apparel stores) operates retail stores that offer one complimentary drink per shopper as part of the shopping experience; Boots and Beer would run the alcohol service on Tacovas’ behalf. The concessionaire said the license sought is the SLA’s bottle‑club license, the only category that allows complimentary full‑liquor service in a retail setting.

Tim Angelillo, Boots and Beer operations manager, described the proposed layout: retail space on the ground floor with a bar area, one restroom accessible to staff and customers, and a basement strictly for storage. The main floor would contain a single bar with six seats and additional seating where customers try on boots. Hours provided on the questionnaire were Monday–Saturday 10 a.m.–7 p.m. and Sunday 12 p.m.–6 p.m.; the applicants confirmed there will be no outdoor seating, no live music and no private events.

Committee members asked whether service would be restricted to a demarcated area; Boots and Beer said patrons may walk around the retail floor with their complimentary beverage. The applicant agreed not to serve alcohol to the public until the temporary certificate of occupancy (TCO) for the premises is issued and current.

Ending — The committee indicated it would prepare a stipulation agreement; staff will send the draft to the applicant for signature. The presentation raised no public objections during the meeting.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Manhattan CB2 January 7, 2025 - SLA 1 Committee Meeting","oneSentenceSummary","A Tacovas retail store proposed for SoHo asked the community board to approve a bottle-club license allowing complimentary full-liquor drinks for shoppers; Boots and Beer would operate the beverage concession.","taxTitle","Manhattan City, New York County, New York","taxId",3586,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6385976,"Mishka SoHo license returns amid long-standing disputes over outdoor lot, prior stipulations and vandalism",1549,2416000,3965000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2118754-c70005a7cc4cbff2c795a2ac5b95725a&start=2416&end=3965","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2118754-c70005a7cc4cbff2c795a2ac5b95725a/thumbnail_2416000.jpg","/articles/6385976/Manhattan-City/New-York-County/New-York/Mishka-SoHo-license-returns-amid-long-standing-disputes-over-outdoor-lot-prior-stipulations-and-vandalism","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6385976-692faa6e154ead0cf38bca9899c11aa2/orig.mp4?Expires=1771173894&Signature=X471qffzv~wOWjY83cz-E6UyAR25UcpN0M~mypSibqzEgUM9mZVi3nkwLUwE4OUU~Oj4xttlI3XU5QnPp~UdvRgmyQxp7vqB5tmUrCmitfbeeooJZOSiMZduvu8Fmiy-CE3vSSMryRL4brcWm40SUicMn8z~mJz0gPGX4thtYfuca2I4djQgUhmRJpDKKqc20AQiDdJMPUELnD6cxK-0yEFjH3rbsyibY8NXQoX77XPpMeQ0nkja5QIbSNodoPPcjjFfnbVWEMO3yFlCsKQw53dKRoqtaW7ZYe6z367FFy5mD3D33jm1WNT8KIyDc6GPCs5sHDtSIkacDe9Mulgbmg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The community board revisited a contentious application for Mishka New York LLC (Mishka SoHo) after extensive discussion about the property’s prior licensing history, use of an adjacent lot for outdoor dining or parking, and several episodes of vandalism and enforcement concerns.

Attorney Martin Miller and owner Marina Janelle told the committee they had reconfigured their corporate filing and were requesting a restaurant wine license for 517–519 Broom Street. Miller said the prior corporate entity had been replaced and that a prior application had been withdrawn to clear the way for the new filing. The applicants said they will serve breakfast and dinner consistent with the questionnaire and that, as a condition of the new license, they would sign a stipulation that forbids use of the adjacent lot or other outdoor space until a certificate of occupancy (CO) and required permits are obtained and the community board and liquor authority approve an alteration.

Committee members and neighborhood speakers recounted a complicated history at the same address: previous temporary permits, reported use of the adjacent parking lot for cooking and seating during the COVID period, several incidents of vandalism and equipment theft, and a prior denial by the board. Residents said there have been repeated 311 or police complaints about noise tied to the premises during earlier operating periods.

Miller told the committee that the landlord’s lease contemplates the possibility of renting the lot at 517 Broom Street but warned that “the owner makes no representation as to the legality of the outdoor seating” and that any outdoor use would require separate, explicit permitting. Miller said Mishka NY will not use the lot for dining or service of alcohol unless they first receive an amended CO and return to the board and the State Liquor Authority with an altered license application.

Board members insisted on a written commitment. The attorney said Mishka would sign the same stipulation previously used with Mishka SoHo, and that the applicants understood that violations could prompt SLA enforcement. On the record the committee also asked staff to ensure the stipulation language is explicit: outdoor space at 517 Broom Street will not be used for dining, alcohol sales, or service unless an amended CO and municipal permits are obtained and the board approves an alteration.

Ending — The board accepted the applicants’ assurance to sign a stipulation and reiterated that any outdoor activity or use of the adjacent lot is contingent on the issuance of a proper certificate of occupancy and municipal permits; the committee flagged the site for follow-up and asked staff to report any future enforcement or permit changes to the board.","The community board required a written, enforceable pledge from Mishka SoHo’s new applicants that they will not use an adjacent lot for dining or alcohol service until they have an amended certificate of occupancy and any municipal permits.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6385980,"Community board presses city agencies on use of loading docks, parking lots for Dining Out NYC cafes",1454,345000,1799000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2118754-c70005a7cc4cbff2c795a2ac5b95725a&start=345&end=1799","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2118754-c70005a7cc4cbff2c795a2ac5b95725a/thumbnail_345000.jpg","/articles/6385980/Manhattan-City/New-York-County/New-York/Community-board-presses-city-agencies-on-use-of-loading-docks-parking-lots-for-Dining-Out-NYC-cafes","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6385980-0b5577c5ce2f9e430cefb6ebeb5467fb/orig.mp4?Expires=1771173894&Signature=IAAtaxFLAS~XzlFzvwbNo2aBcD3WYqrLh2-WTa3qdD7W6bug0vr7FBLgswk7049~NIze~FjZmzcBDhJ42NRYZOewHLOcLAM6OoMxbmCo6rXgN~qG4MN7hdtPiPHH7z1cQkOq~-pAH-CmNE8KTGcNWDOlwb1-OQmh4sFQ4z7~KnlFWl8OPC7XVdCzJ08igghnKyneYFaMnPKYYyuGM4mzrXYpKpYIrgFI-SFGoSAXAo6O7UtARsT6F8NXyGqHmRrfBVVHosy5aAX3pBJjFmfH-7ewQhK0J6SK3Kp62yaU-7G2CAczMLpKC5YmCjYa3X~FVeYT5v8lm6X7M9JXYqGWVA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Manhattan Community Board members pressed applicants and city agencies on whether historic loading docks and adjacent parking lots can be included in outdoor dining footprints under the Dining Out NYC program, amid conflicting agency practice and safety concerns.

At two licensing appearances the committee said applicants should not assume a loading dock or adjacent lot is eligible for a sidewalk or roadway cafe permit unless the Department of Transportation and other agencies explicitly approve it. Committee members emphasized safety, Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) access and inconsistent enforcement under the Department of Consumer and Worker Protection (formerly DCA) and DOT as the core unresolved issues.

The committee discussed two applications in which outdoor areas triggered questions. For La Pecora Bianca (LPB 4 LLC), the applicant sought a municipal alteration to serve alcohol on sidewalks and an approved (but pending) DOT roadway cafe. The committee asked the applicant to conform to an earlier 2019 stipulation that limited outdoor hours; the applicants indicated they would reduce their proposed outdoor hours to match the prior stipulation. A representative for La Pecora Bianca said the restaurant will follow “all rules and regulations of the Dining Out NYC program” and agreed to the prior closing times the board requested.

The more prolonged discussion involved Shay FanFan Corp., a proposed small French restaurant at 510 Broom Street. Attorney Eleanor Schotten and the applicant principals described plans for a traditional brasserie with modest live acoustic music and interior seating. The application initially included a historic loading dock area; community members and committee members said DOT and the State Liquor Authority (SLA) had not issued clear guidance about treating such docks as part of licensed premises. The committee repeatedly said that historic practice under the older DCA enforcement did not bind DOT and that safety and ADA questions remain unresolved.

Attorney Eleanor Schotten told the committee her clients had included the dock area in outreach to notify neighbors, but that they had not yet applied to DOT for a roadway cafe. In response to the committee’s concerns, the applicants agreed to remove the loading-dock/outdoor seating from the current application and to present evidence of any legal right to use that space only after DOT or another agency confirmed permissibility.

Committee members said they would inform applicants that the board’s position is to require explicit municipal authorization before approving use of municipal property for dining and alcohol service. Several members also urged the city to produce clearer rules and guidance about historic loading docks and other atypical public space configurations.

The board did not adopt a new policy at the meeting; instead members recorded direction to applicants (remove contested outdoor areas from current applications unless agency approval is in hand) and to staff to continue pressing for clearer interagency guidance on how loading docks and similar configurations should be treated under Dining Out NYC.

Ending — The committee encouraged applicants to proceed cautiously: interior operations and stipulated interior hours can move forward, but any expansions into loading docks, curbside roadway cafes or adjacent public lots must come with explicit DOT/DCA/SLA confirmation or be pursued later as an alteration to the license.","Members questioned whether historic loading docks and adjacent private lots can be used as sidewalk or roadway cafes under the Dining Out NYC program, pressing applicants and staff to clarify municipal ownership, ADA and safety requirements and whether DOT will treat these features as private or municipal property.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6385958,"Bonnie & Mott license discussion laid over after neighbors report repeated noise complaints",955,7169000,8124000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2118754-c70005a7cc4cbff2c795a2ac5b95725a&start=7169&end=8124","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2118754-c70005a7cc4cbff2c795a2ac5b95725a/thumbnail_7169000.jpg","/articles/6385958/Manhattan-City/New-York-County/New-York/Bonnie-Mott-license-discussion-laid-over-after-neighbors-report-repeated-noise-complaints","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6385958-ecd94dcbe2cb4d7c8a722b436178130f/orig.mp4?Expires=1771173894&Signature=fcxee4nYZKQeNndb4LUk0ti7uAsueGtgAxYk60ZeRiFutVnBOZQAqFWAGsPVpB8vo4FisCucpwplNPikzktZrTwRMICQkR6zCVHD43xtey2TqQTPMdYEHpS98OgBR6V4M7uhEhd5XAKSyOsOLMWv8l3P2EGje8vJoKlj-2hJpnSZeizEQr46Sg48IemS8xv53gbG4QEJ9XD4YMzQ8SSQLm1OWNZ3Sux6xr5wKANT7uArb0enFzui2gaWCLMntE1bp3lnIS4AdfjtCHlcU8Za6SbV3RpoGL8Z8y4qAQ4MHuhy-xsOFfx8tJcmuI5oLQI78BmKKm8CkOBE2voFmKnuaw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The committee laid over consideration of the liquor application for Bonnie & Mott after residents and building representatives reported repeated noise complaints and alleged late-night operations.

Owner Mehdi briefed the committee on the restaurant’s concept (North African/Algerian‑inspired Mediterranean cuisine) and described current operations and hours (generally closing around midnight to 1 a.m. on some days). Members reported receiving a letter from the Prince Street Condos association with multiple 311 and 911 noise complaints alleging loud music and open front doors that allowed sound into neighboring units. A representative of the residents told the board that the location “operates like a day‑and‑night club” at times and urged denial of an upgraded license unless concerns are addressed.

The operator said he had offered his phone number to neighbors and asked to be notified when problems arise; he disputed some claims and said he had been closed for periods because of vandalism in past years. Committee members and the operator agreed on a process: the operator will meet with building representatives, document contact information for an on-duty manager and provide the board with a plan to curb noise (closing front doors at stipulated times, lowering music volume and responding to complaints). The committee laid the application over to the March meeting to allow the operator and neighbors time to resolve outstanding concerns.

Ending — Bonnie & Mott’s application was laid over to the March committee meeting. The operator agreed to community engagement steps and to provide a direct contact for on‑site management; the committee asked staff to confirm whether outstanding 311 or police complaints remain open and to report back at the March meeting.","Bonnie and Mott, a recently opened Mediterranean restaurant, faced resident complaints about loud music and late activity; the committee laid the application over to March and asked the operator to meet with neighbors and provide a contact for day‑to‑day noise concerns.",{"_33":112,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":113,"_41":114,"_43":115,"_45":116,"_47":117,"_49":118,"_51":119,"_53":120,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":121,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":122,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6385964,"Split hotel-restaurant application at 218–220 Bowery draws debate over late hours, private events and neighborhood impact",4200,3142000,7342000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2118754-c70005a7cc4cbff2c795a2ac5b95725a&start=3142&end=7342","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2118754-c70005a7cc4cbff2c795a2ac5b95725a/thumbnail_3142000.jpg","/articles/6385964/Manhattan-City/New-York-County/New-York/Split-hotel-restaurant-application-at-218220-Bowery-draws-debate-over-late-hours-private-events-and-neighborhood-impact","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6385964-f52843501c002956623152c279792b7e/orig.mp4?Expires=1771173894&Signature=A-luPFacUeDGgNsiHS9N7Wf9gxcP6TWwL50NNMFROymFOlHDgeV2-AbGGK4zXqTh6HEgf2K9cweN60agiWgMgj1UQ-Ho4bP7iu3DepTfgCKlK-US6KKhvEWLjAsqTSYUar7XIdCQwMztAE8PbuwTmYTmLpC2VGQp4HxLZirpun7CkBbDWydogtggbGobG1HPDotJz-AY5S55hscmMdoPJloe46KAEYf5ldjKQkUKGaRbGVcV3sYD13qjFDfKDKBXpeqrHSfM4Gv73kb7Kg8qN6mGWDCcecwZWyteyaF-APhOW30cYlxJa01IyfLMmny6jVE4G7ctLKPGAORCamYojg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Developers and operators seeking liquor licenses for two connected spaces at 218 and 220 Bowery presented a revised approach — splitting one large hotel license into two separate restaurant operations — and faced scrutiny over proposed late-night hours, security plans and prior building compliance.

Frank and Neil Wong presented the revised plan: two separate restaurant/food service operations with distinct methods of operation. The applicants said 218 Bowery would have 23 tables and 75 seats with a 16‑seat bar (capacity ~91 patrons), described as an “American bistro” with jazz nights, and 220 Bowery would be smaller (13 tables, 26 seats, nine at the bar) with a focus on private events, comedy and music nights.

Michelle Campo and other community members raised concerns about 4 a.m. closing hours that had initially been discussed; after consultation with board staff the applicants agreed to scale back late-night hours. The applicants ultimately revised closing hours in committee discussion to 2 a.m. seven days a week for both venues (the committee and applicants discussed additional nuance for weekday vs. weekend hours). Committee members also pressed for amplified sound limits, assurances about quiet background live music, and clear security staffing for the busier nights.

A nearby resident, Ralph Lewis of 206 Bowery, urged denial, saying the Bowery should not return to a nightlife model that favors clubs and late-night bars and pointing to earlier neighborhood impacts from late hours. The applicants responded that their intent is to operate full kitchens and restaurants — not purely nightclubs — and emphasized that they would staff security and manage street behavior to reduce sidewalk noise. Applicants said they intend to restrict televised content and jukebox/DJ activity; several committee members sought written stipulations that would bar TVs, limit amplified DJ activity, and require on-site security on specified nights.

Ending — After public comment and back-and-forth with staff, the applicants agreed to revised hours (2 a.m.), to limit televisions and amplified DJ activity, and to security plans for late‑night periods; staff will produce stipulation language for committee and applicant review before the matter advances.","Applicants split a previously proposed hotel license into two separate restaurant licenses at 218 and 220 Bowery; committee members and residents questioned 4 a.m. closing requests, potential private events and the buildings' prior compliance history, and the applicants reduced requested late hours to 2 a.m. for both venues.","actionData","errors"]
