Review of SLA Applicants For April 2015

Here are some bits to pique your interest.   Continuation of CB10 hearings on wine/beer license for The Coffee Lab [6903 3rd Ave].  Why a coffee shop would need to sell another (different) kind of vice is beyond us...

New SLA liquor license sought for the upscale nightclub, Blue Zoo Lounge [8402 3rd Ave], Embers Steakhouse [9519 3rd Ave]

New SLA wine/beer application for the upcoming opening of Pig Guy NYC [8413 3rd Ave] and also Shangri-La Vegetarian [7400 3rd Ave], a new restaurant it seems, which will be located at the former Carvel corner location (they subsequently moved one block over to 75/76th)
