AS RESIDENTS OF THE WEST VILLAGE WHO LIVE NEAR and in the MEAT PACKING DISTRICT, WE ASK YOU TO DENY an application for a full on premises liquor license to Palais de Michaelangelo ( 1-3 Little West 12^th Street on Gansevoort Plaza).The Meat packing area has an overwhelming amount(20 plus) of liquor license venues. For at least four years our community has endured a decreased quality of life as the result of so many licensed establishments within close proximity to each other. We have suffered many late night/ early am sleepless nights due to honking vehicular traffic and crowds of often drunk patrons on our streets.

Community Board 2 turned this license down JULY 2013. How does another late night white-dining establishment serve the public interest? We have so many similar licensed establishments now? IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT THE AREA IS SO TRAFFIC CONGESTED THAT, IN THE PAST FEW MONTHS,THE NYPD HAVE TAKEN TO SHUTTING STREETS THAT LEAD INTO THE MEPA FROM HUDSON.THE LAST THING OUR NEIGHBORHOOD NEEDS IS ANOTHER LIQUOR LICENSE.

SEE THESE TWO VIDEOS THAT PLAINLY SHOW OUR late night/early am TRAFFIC PROBLEMS: https://vimeo.com/73050146and https://vimeo.com/73103098
