Stop the Standard East Village
Three years ago the East Fifth Street Block Association agreed the Standard East Village Hotel could double its outdoor drinking/dining capacity if it enclosed 60% of its 5th St outdoor service area. Despite never having built the enclosure, its Bowery Café is in full swing and the hotel now seeks another 60% increase in outdoor Fifth Street dining (in the very area it promised to enclose). It also seeks to remain open two hours later per night in the area originally agreed to be “a quiet gathering place for patrons and their guests” because it abuts a residential tenement building and faces a home for the elderly.
SEV’s request for later hours of more restaurant seating on Fifth Street, combined with its Bowery café open till 1 a.m. and new crowds from Cooper Square’s forthcoming “Village Plaza” open park, will create intolerable living conditions for SEV’s nearest neighbors—and turn our residential street, neighborhood, and backyard into what one council member has called “Disneyland with alcohol.”
SEV already has total dining capacity of 343, 140 of that outdoors. Their request for more and later dining on Fifth Street is a greedy and blatant reversal of the agreed shift of outdoor activity away from its residential neighbors to the avenue.
Join your neighbors in letting SEV know ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. Sign our petition opposing any action by SEV to extend outdoor service at the cost of their neighbors’ peace and quiet, and make your voice heard at the CB3 SLA Committee meeting Mon, April 20th @ 6:30 p.m.
SAVE OUR NEIGHBORHOOD BEFORE IT’S TOO LATE.

The feedback from local residents regarding the proposed expansion remains consistent in its alarm. I am currently documenting these concerns to present during our upcoming hearing with the neighborhood officials.

The momentum behind this petition highlights a significant collective desire to protect the residential character of our street. This level of support reinforces the importance of holding the hotel accountable to their original agreements.

No. They haven't complied with their previous agreement by not enclosing this area. Please not more later hours for nightlife on our residential block!
The current outdoor cafe already created too much noise. They have deliberately increased the volume by installing a tin roof. Hotel and restaurant consumers block 3rd Avesudewalk in good weather and make it impossible for neighbors to access 5th Street night after night. Enough is enough.
The Standard keeps promising to be a good neighbor and then they want to expand their hours, the number and the size of their restaurants. They are at the end of a residential street, across the street from a senior citizen's care facility. ENough is enough, they shouldn't be allowed to expand beyond the current size!!!!!

i have been battling with a neigbour above me, a NYU brat, over late night consistent noise for a few years as have others on the affected block with this Hotel and also a flood of spoiled, pampered NYU students/hangers on. The influx of people who do NOT care in the least about our quality of life, especially after midnight, has reached astronomical proportions in our once quiet East Village. Its time to take a decided stand here with this petition and in general against the flock of NYU and other molesters ruining our night peace and denying sleep at all. For all of these reasons please support this effort !
