We, the undersigned residents in the vicinity of 160-162 Prince Street,
implore Community Board 2 Manhattan and the New York State Liquor Authority to disapprove a full liquor license for the Martignetti Brothers' Lihou LLC, currently operating a highly disruptive establishment at 406 Broome Street d/b/a Brinkley's. Neighbors of Brinkley's have complained for years, as these operators line up boisterous crowds of party-goers outside their bar/clubs all night long, waiting to jam them inside the crowded bar as the music blares and the party swings well into the night. There have been reports of dangerous overcrowding and other violations. Neighbors have complained of sleepless nights till near dawn, reporting vomit, trash, and public urination when the drunken revelers depart. Even people friendly to the club scene accuse these guys of being bad operators.
They will be applying for a liquor license in June at the community board. NYS law severely restricts new liquor licenses if there already exist other licensed premises nearby. 160-162 Prince St. is on an over-saturated, pedestrian- and traffic-congested corner; we cannot take the addition of a disruptive establishment at this largely residential location. We are a quiet, family neighborhood. (Signatures gathered May 10, 2015 to Present.)

I really thought this might just fizzle out but honestly the momentum is blowing my mind right now. It is wild how many neighbors feel exactly the same way about these guys and I honestly keep checking the screen just to make sure I am seeing this right because I was so worried about being the only one keeping track of all the noise and the mess on Prince Street.

I live in the neighborhood at 2 Charlton st and am VERY opposed to a club coming to our area. There are familys and people who have lived here for a life time . We have already see what can happen w late night alcohol related activities. PLEASE SAY NO to this.
This is a quiet residential neighborhood, with a playground half a block away, and a convent down the street. A late night club is inappropriate for the space, and very unwelcome. I encourage CB2 to vote NO.
Buildings built at the time of 162 Prince St. were never meant to house any operation producing noise or vibrations. Residents above and around bars in such buildings are doomed to suffer. No amount of sound proofing is effective and bass music causes unbearable vibration. It is an inappropriate location for such an enterprise.
This is a residential neighborhood with many restaurants interspersed. An after hours bar open til 4am would be disruptive of residents trying to sleep. Brinkleys has many complaints against it for noise & rowdy behavior. Please don't approve their request for a bar that will be open till 4am
We have children and live nearby and oppose a club style business moving in with operators who have a known history of causing problems with their neighbors.
This is a quiet corner of nyc. 4am is simply too late. It promotes drunk people talking loudly on the street when residents are trying to sleep.
Please don't allow another bar in this area.

This is a residential neighborhood. It is not the Meat-Packing District. It is totally unfair to the tax-paying residents in this area to subject them to raucous crowds to benefit known bad actors, and bring nothing of any worth to this neighborhood.
