Community board clears two liquor-license renewals, asks Los Primos to submit corrected New Year’s permit form
Summary
The Economic Development & Public Safety Committee voted to forward letters of no objection for Los Primos (698 Allerton Ave.) and Mistel Restaurant & Bar (2314 Eastchester Rd.), but conditioned Los Primos’ recommendation on receipt of a corrected SLA all‑night event form by 3:00 p.m. the following day.
Dwayne Williams, chairing the committee, moved Tuesday evening to forward a letter of no objection to the State Liquor Authority for Los Primos at 698 Allerton Avenue, provided the applicant submits a corrected all‑night event form by 3:00 p.m. the next day. The motion carried, and the committee recorded no formal roll-call tally in the transcript.
The motion followed questions from board members about an application field labeled "all night event" that lacked a date and end time. Maria, the Los Primos representative who joined the meeting online, said she had submitted the SLA application for New Year’s Eve and told the committee the requested permit would cover December 31 into January 1 and would allow the premises to remain open until 8:00 a.m.; she said the establishment expects to serve liquor until about 6:00 a.m. “Basically, it will start, the 30 first, December 31, and it will give us the opportunity to stay open until 8AM of 01/01/2026,” Maria said. Committee members asked for the event date and the exact hours to be added to the community board notice so staff can forward the file to the SLA before the full board meeting.
On Mistel Restaurant & Bar at 2314 Eastchester Road, the committee moved and approved forwarding a letter of no objection; the transcript records the motion as carrying unanimously. The board asked staff to include the corrected Los Primos form in materials for the full board and said the SLA will make the final determination on any special‑event approval.
Why it matters: the SLA’s special‑event permits extend serving hours beyond the regular local limit; the board’s recommendation is advisory and the SLA has final authority. Members said they want clarity on event dates, serving end times and security plans before sending an advisory letter.
What’s next: Board staff asked Maria to resend the corrected community form with event date and requested hours to Chris and Veronica by 3:00 p.m. the following day so the board can include its recommendation at the full board meeting.
