During a recent government meeting, discussions centered around the application for a tavern wine license for AirMail, a new establishment located at 546 Hudson Street. The meeting featured Benjamin Korgut, the attorney representing AirMail, along with co-owner Bill Keenan and general manager Anjali Lewis.
AirMail, which opened its doors as a café in early April, has garnered positive feedback from the local community. The venue features a small seating capacity of eight inside and twelve in a rear yard, with no plans for sidewalk or roadbed seating. The café operates until 7 PM daily and offers a selection of coffee, pastries, and sandwiches, alongside a curated collection of goods, including magazines and unique retail items.
Lewis emphasized the café's role as a community hub, where patrons often gather to socialize. The request for a tavern license aims to expand their offerings to include alcoholic beverages, responding to customer demand for a more diverse menu in the afternoons.
The committee's discussions highlighted the establishment's focus on education and community engagement, with plans for future events primarily centered around educational themes. The meeting concluded with a positive outlook on AirMail's integration into the neighborhood, reflecting a growing trend of hybrid retail spaces that combine dining and unique shopping experiences.
