Committee hears Rulon restaurant wine application; neighbor endorses name-change and stipulations
Summary
Rulon Restaurant Group (appearing as Rulon Hospitality LLC) sought a restaurant-wine license at 15 East 13th Street. Committee clarified corporate name, hours and prior stipulations; a neighborhood association member endorsed the application with the clarified name.
Rulon Restaurant Group, appearing before the Manhattan City liquor-license committee under the corporation Rulon Hospitality LLC, applied for a restaurant-wine license at 15 East 13th Street. Committee members clarified that the correct operating entity is Rulon Restaurant Group and requested the applicant provide a 30-day notice for internal procedure. The applicant said they would email required paperwork to the office.
Committee members reviewed hours of operation and prior conditions tied to the location’s previous full-liquor license. The earlier license had specific stipulations limiting liquor use to food preparation and permitting only beer and wine service to customers; the committee emphasized that those stipulations remain relevant to how a new wine license would be administered. The current application specifies no sidewalk seating, no TVs and background music only; the applicant confirmed there is no basement for patrons and that the second floor will be used only for storage.
A member of the East Eleventh Street Block Association, Cheryl Granfield, spoke in support of the application and explicitly endorsed the applicant after the committee clarified the corporate name and limits on liquor service. Committee members recorded that the application was otherwise unopposed on the record.
