It is not a restaurant - there is no kitchen. There is already a wine bar on the block, we live with th lowered quality of life issues from that bar. There are only ten houses on this small, residential block. Why is it not reasonable for the residents of the block to say to the owner you have already changed the residential character of our block with your wine bar, please leave it at that. His combined wine/bar liquor bar will extend 98 feet along a block that is only 192 feet long. Get your facts straight, people, and ask yourselves, whetehr you'd like to live a door or two away from a late hours bar. On a residntially zoned street. <BR/><BR/>BTW, I'm one of the Brooklynites who chose to raise my kid in the city, attend inner city schools, and not flee to the burbs like many others. Does that not give me the right to have an opinion on my own block?<BR/><BR/>Resident of Hoyt St. for 24 years.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27072046.post-18597086580371260682008-04-15T19:09:00.000-04:002008-04-15T19:09:00.000-04:00Don't live on a commercially zoned street if you don't want the noise. Can't believe anybody has to actually say that. Isn't it a given? And as if these protesters never drink in bars or restaurants. They are NIMBY all the way - "I'll drink like a fish in another neighborhood but Not In My Back Yard."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27072046.post-88786471173449959622008-04-15T12:39:00.000-04:002008-04-15T12:39:00.000-04:00Wow, indeed. I just checked out Katia Kelly's blog. What a crazy waste of time. Grow up. It's New York City. People like to go out to restaurants. Not everyone owns a big brownstone to throw dinner parties.100 years ago there was a tavern on every corner. Carroll Gardens isn't the suburbs. Living in a city means jutting up against other people and their sounds and smells. Get used to it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27072046.post-50939504791310622312008-04-14T11:38:00.000-04:002008-04-14T11:38:00.000-04:00Wow. I didn't think another neighborhood could outdo Park Slope's NIMBY tendencies. Bravo! Hey, we need a decent restaurant over here on 7th Avenue, Mr. Mamary. I'm a huge fan of the new place, Pomme De Terre.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27072046.post-83351967958711313882008-04-14T09:02:00.000-04:002008-04-14T09:02:00.000-04:00Why is this the first I am hearing of this? This is an outrage! Mamary sucks and his places are dirty and stupid! Go Katia for saying what I am thinking. There will be no appeal. Mamary will swoop in with his half assed labor and discount seafood. We can only hope he gets slapped with a health inspection notice and is shut down. There goes my F'ing neighborhood...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
