The Smile (26 Bond), has withdrawn their application for a full On-Premise Liquor License pending discussions with neighborhood stakeholders, tentatively scheduled for  July 15th...RSVP.  
Back in 2008, the community reluctantly agreed to allow a Wine and Beer license to a new retail dry goods store...with a long list of stipulations that included NEVER APPLYING FOR AN ON-PREMISE LICENSE.

8 Bond St. - No longer under the radar! This former studio has become Bond St.'s do-it-yourself nightmare club.  Originally just private parties, it now collects an entrance fee...and without any licenses at all, just stays open till dawn!  But, they got raided recently.  Keep those 911 calls coming ! http://newyork.grubstreet.com/2010/05/my_friends_place_is_was_the_ne.html?e=grubstreet--20100524

NYU Task Force suspending meetings during the ULURP Process for the Superblocks.  Having successfully moved NYU toward a large-scale and 20-year planning process, developed Planning Principles adopted by NYU and three Community Boards, as well as its members, and having submitted a Review to which NYU has provided a summary response, the Task Force agreed on July 6th, 2010 to convene on a quarterly basis, allowing its members, the majority of whom are connected to this particular application, either in their "official" capacities in elected and appointed positions or representing groups within the affected ULURP area, to be fully engaged in the due process for a Uniform Land Use Review Procedure (ULURP) on the Super Blocks in the NYU Campus Core without inherent conflict of interest - on all sides.

Until this stage is completed, the Task Force will entertain discussions on macro matters, such as remote site planning, new site opportunities, city-wide impacts, etc.  See coverage at Curbed and at The Villager
