Leila Bar at 422 Hudson seeks earlier weekend opening; committee asks applicant to return on outdoor seating
Summary
Applicant for NRK Cafe Inc., doing business as Leila Bar, asked the committee to approve a change in hours to open for brunch at 10 a.m. on Saturdays and Sundays; the committee said the outside seating request would have to be submitted separately and reviewed.
NRK Cafe Inc., doing business as Leila Bar at 422 Hudson Street, asked Community Board 2SLA committee members for a modification to its method of operation so it can open at 10 a.m. on Saturdays and Sundays for brunch service.
The applicantrepresented at the meeting by Sampalsaid the change was limited to earlier weekend opening; closing hours and other operations would remain as currently permitted. "We are changing asking for 10 a.m. open only Saturday and Sunday during the brunch," Sampal told the committee.
Committee members pressed the applicant about prior reports that the rear yard had been used without a certificate of occupancy and about a prior instance of outdoor use raised during a 2024 appearance. The applicant said the rear yard had not been used since and that an outdoor-seating alteration would be filed separately.
The committee noted that the alteration for outdoor seating would need a separate municipal application and that Leila Bar could not use any outdoor area until that application was approved. The applicant agreed to return with formal sidewalk/roadway plans for any outdoor seating and to submit the municipal form required by DOT.
Ending: The committee recorded the change-of-hours request and directed the applicant to come back with a separate application for outdoor seating. No final vote is recorded in the transcript for immediate approval of alterations.
