Upcoming: Community Board 6 Sessions on Restaurants & Bars

Community Board 6, which has taken some heat in the days following the vote to grant a liquor license to that controversial oyster bar on Hoyt Street in Carroll Gardens is hosting two informational meetings "in an effort to better understand the rules and regulations governing restaurants and bars in our district." The sessions will include representatives from government agencies and local precincts to "answer any questions in respect to noise, smoking, backyard usage, garbage and other related issues." The first session, for resident in the 76th Precinct is tonight (4/16) at 6PM at Community Board 6, located at 250 Baltic Street. The second session, for 78th Precinct residents, is next Wednesday (4/23) at 6PM at the 78th Precinct, which is located at 65 Sixth Avenue. There are issues and concerns in both communities, so the sessions will be interesting.
