SALAAM BOMBAY: LIQUOR-LICENSE APPLICATION I like a mother as much as anyone, but it’s time to stop thinking of them as helpless when they’re anything but.)
#Weather up tribeca drivers
(An aside: One committee member, in complaining about brazen drivers somewhere, brought up the trope of “women with baby carriages,” as if they’re helpless. The rest of CB1 will follow, hopefully by the end of the year. The goal is to get new regulations in place before the big Hudson Street DEP third-tunnel project starts in late summer/early fall. Among other things, they’re looking at obsolete curbcuts (for loading docks that no longer function as such, for instance). “Well, yeah, hopefully,” replied the chair.) Vote: 8–0.Ī rep from the Department of Transportation explained how the organization has been studying parking in Tribeca-defined as Canal to Chambers, West to Church-in order to get regulations up to speed with the changes that have occurred here in the past decade. (“So no more Truffles?” asked on committee member. Developers like it, the board likes it, everyone likes it. Some light manufacturing-jewelery-making, woodworking, etc.-would be allowed. Once the new zoning goes through, it’ll be much easier for residential projects to get built, with restrictions on the size and height (and on the retail spaces-10,000 square feet on wide streets and 5,000 square feet on narrow ones). In the mid-90s, southern Tribeca was rezoned to make it more residential, but northern Tribeca wasn’t. This is basically a done deal, so there isn’t much point in belaboring it. (“And tell your people to be nice to the neighborhood!” said the chair.)
Moore and five on Greenwich, for a total of nine on N. It was decreed that Locanda Verde may add four tables to N. According to one committee member, who said he has gone in to complain about it, the restaurant’s planters are too close to the street already. I said, “Do you hold table for locals? I read that somewhere.” And the reservationist said, “Yes, we have seats at the bar.” I love Locanda Verde’s food, and good for them for being popular, but they need to drop this holding-tables-for-locals hooey.) In any event, Locanda Verde’s Joshua Pickard (standing in the photo above), handled it pretty well, saying, “That’s why we need more café seating.” The restaurant wanted to go from 20 to 68 sidewalk seats, from 10 to 34 tables, all along the Greenwich Hotel‘s façades on Greenwich and N. A few months ago, I called to reserve, and I got the 5:30 or 11 line.
(OK, I’ve been waiting for someone to bring this up. But it’s always 5:30 or 11 p.m.” He then told how once, when he and his wife suddenly found themselves liberated from child care for the evening, he called to see if the restaurant could take them, and was told, “If you come right now.” Seven minutes later, they arrived to be told that the wait was 45 minutes.
“When you opened, you said there would always be seats available for locals-just mention that you live in the neighborhood. “You have the rudest people working for you,” said the committee chair in kicking off the discussion of Locanda Verde‘s request for more sidewalk seating. closing on weekends, but the committee preferred 1 a.m. Weather Up Tribeca would be-according to the materials handed out-”an artisanal cocktail bar paired with a sophisticated Raw Bar” with “hand-cracked ice,” “vaulted subway tile ceiling,” “kid leather banquettes” (er, this neighborhood would probably respond better to a different phrasing), “polished bronze bar,” and “vintage heart pine flooring.” It’ll have an occupancy of 74, with 50 seats, including those at the bar. After some confusion about whether this topic was discussed last month, the lawyer for the new potential tenant said, “The lease is coming Thursday and we’re signing it.” (This was news to the people who planned on opening a Marlow & Sons–esque restaurant in the space that used to be children’s furniture store Blue Bench.) The new folks are Kathryn Weatherup and Michael Maddy, who already have a bar called Weather Up in Prospect Heights (Brooklyn).
