the horror of more bars in Tribeca / setback for Buster’s team

CB1 pulls back + piles on
I noted last week in update on Buster’s at 25 N. Moore / farts + frats in Tribeca bar war that the full Community Board 1 would meet to take another look at the attempt by the former owners of the much-maligned Buster’s Garage to get a liquor license to open at 25 North Moore Street (The Atalanta), after the CB1 Tribeca Subcommittee voted to rescind their prior approval of a “500 foot waiver” for a state liquor license.

As noted there, the full CB1 meeting was last night. I got an email from someone who was there, who reports that the full Community Board voted unanimously to rescind their prior approval and (with one abstention) unanimously to oppose the application. “Now we just have to hope that the SLA will not grant their license – looking’ good”.

Stay tuned for word (not sure when) when the State Liquor Authority decides. As I said, these Buster’s folks have really pissed off the neighbors. Score another for the farts in the bottom of the eighth.
