Community Board 3 just published the SLA subcommittee agenda for April. Lots happening on the Lower East Side these days. Here we go…

  • First, Soho House decided to withdraw its liquor license application before the list was even made public. Reasoning is reportedly additional outreach in the face of increased community opposition.
  • Rob Shamlian is returning to CB3 to argue for an alteration to include a basement liquor license at the forthcoming Tiny Fork on Orchard Street. You’ll recall that he withdrew the application in the face of community pressure the last go-round.
  • Looks like a pool hall is primed for the old Sleepy’s space at 250 East Houston (which itself moved into the Blockbuster spot). This after Soho Billiards shuttered in December. They’re seeking full liquor.
  • The nearly-completed Marriott Fairfield Inn at 95 Henry wants full liquor, presumably for its hotel bar.
