74 NYC restaurants file a motion to reopen at half capacity
A group of 74 NYC restaurants including East Williamsburg bar Our Wicked Lady and Bushwick spot Momo Sushi Shack have filed an emergency motion calling on a New York judge to issue an injunction allowing them to reopen indoor dining at half capacity. The motion is part of an ongoing lawsuit that the restaurants filed against Gov. Andrew Cuomo, the state of New York, Mayor Bill de Blasio, and the city of New York, last month, over what they argued were unpredictable regulations that were costing them thousands of dollars.
Here’s a look at what’s coming up at Community Board 3 in February.
–As previously reported, community board members hoped they’d be getting details regarding a homeless safe haven this month. But because the operator of the proposed facility in the Blue Moon Hotel, the meeting was rescheduled for the human services committee on Thursday, February 4. Representatives from the nonprofit operator, Not on My Watch, and the NYC Department of Homeless Services are expected to be in attendance. Local landlords and businesses have filed a lawsuit to block the homeless safe haven from opening.
–On Monday, February 8 the committee that reviews liquor permits will meet to go over numerous proposals, including one for a Spanish tapas bar at 14 Orchard St. The new spot is a project from the owners of Bar Belly, located right next door.
