Tapestry Management files corporate change; committee seeks midnight hours and notes sidewalk-cafe constraints
Summary
Tapestry Management LLC told the board it is transferring ownership into a UAF investor structure but will keep the operating name. Committee members asked that future sidewalk-cafe hours be capped at midnight; applicant noted a fire hydrant prevents a roadside cafe and said it will return with a DOT sidewalk-cafe application if appropriate.
Tapestry Management LLC, doing business at 60 Greenwich Avenue, appeared before Community Board Q's SLA committee seeking a corporate change of its liquor license while keeping the trade name and the current method of operation.
Applicant Ronnie Zumba and counsel explained the proposed ownership structure: Ronnie's LLC will own 34.79% of a new UAF Investor Group LLC, one principal will own 27.18%, and 24 other members will hold the remaining approximately 38.03%. The licensee name will not change and the applicant said it would adhere to past stipulations.
Why it matters: corporate changes can affect oversight and the committee is accustomed to reviewing ownership control. Committee members asked whether hours should remain at midnight so future operators would not assume extended late-night service; the applicant accepted the committeesuggestion to retain midnight as the stipulated closing hour for future sidewalk-cafe proposals.
Committee members also flagged sidewalk-cafe constraints. The applicant said a fire hydrant in front of the restaurant limits a roadside cafe, and that any sidewalk-cafe proposal would follow DOT rules and return to the board. The applicant said it would submit the DOT paperwork and that the licensee has signatures of local support.
Operational notes clarified at the meeting: hours will remain flexible for the indoor operation but the committee recommended stamping a midnight closing on any future sidewalk-cafe stipulation to avoid reappearances; applicant said it would keep the midnight hour as a default. The applicant confirmed there are no changes to the name or operating hours for the interior restaurant and that an application for a sidewalk cafe would be separate and subject to DOT approval.
Ending: The committee asked the applicant to send the DOT paperwork and the revised ownership chart for the file; with those materials the committee indicated it could waive an additional in-person appearance.
