PRIME 135 would have 2 establishments: a full-service restaurant with sidewalk cafe on 7th Ave., as well as a "sandwich shop" up the steps and inside the residential entrance on W. 10th St. The owner is requesting a closing time of 1 and 2 a.m. for both spaces.
Two full liquor licenses, and in effect, two restaurants in this more than 100-year-old, poorly insulated tenement building are untenable, and will have a dramatic impact on the quality of life for residents.
The ground-floor space formerly housed a hair salon, a series of retail stores, and a barbershop. THERE IS NO PRECEDENT FOR A FULL LIQUOR LICENSE HERE. Tanti Bacci, the restaurant formerly located in the basement at 163, operated an outdoor cafe and a tiny dining room annex around the corner on 7th Ave; but they had only a beer and wine license and closed by eleven, midnight on weekends.
There are over 30 premises with liquor licenses within a two-block radius of this address. THE RESIDENTS OF THIS NEIGHBORHOOD CANNOT ABIDE ANOTHER FULL LIQUOR LICENSE!!!
Our neighborhood has become a "night-life corridor," our sidewalks filled with drunken revelers every night of the week. Our narrow streets echo with blasting music and shouting well past midnight. Bar owners ignore the legal requirement to close windows and doors at a reasonable hour.

I have officially filed a formal objection with the community board regarding the liquor license application for the Seventh Avenue and West 10th Street premises. I am currently preparing the architectural and zoning research that we will present during the upcoming public hearing.

We absolutely cannot have another full liquor licensed establishment in our small, uninsulated, over 100 year old residential building!! Our building is simply not equipped or built to handle both the noise and security implications that this establishment would bring !!! This would have a direct impact on the lives of us tenants living in the building. Please don't allow this to happen.
There is no place for two liquor licensed venues in a residential building. More importantly, having two entrances, including one in the same entrance as the tenants, is a security concern. Any patron or Prime 135 employee could gain access. It is unclear if Prime 135 has access to the building, what security measures will be taken, and what will be done to ensure that there is no noise disturbance. The building management has also not notified the tenants of this merchant's exact plans and quality assurances.
I live on 10 th st in the past year
there is already so much noise on the street. it's impossible to get any sleep uninterrupted people leaving the bars and restaurants on this street. this will make the situation eve worse.
This further erodes family life on W. 10 Street
Please, stop the Niagara Falls of liquor that is ruining 10th Street!
This is an outrageous request, which Community Board 2 should know to reject outright.

We have been inundated in our neighborhood by so many new bars and restaurants; one more is just not necessary. There are beer and wine licenses within 100 feet, and 3 or 4 full liquor licenses within 100 feet of this location (7 licenses!!!). Do we really need an 8th?
