I’ll Drink to That: Booze okayed for restaurant inside Williamsburg Urban Outfitters
Eye On Real Estate
Brace yourself, Billyburg. There will be an Urban Outfitters that serves booze. Soon.
Community Board 1’s liquor license committee said No Way, Jose last fall when asked to support the youth-oriented clothing chain’s liquor license application for its 98 N. 6th St. store site. Websites wrote hilarious critiques of the concept – like Gothamist, which called the store “Urban Drunkfitters.”
So guess what? The State Liquor Authority conditionally approved the license in December, agency spokesman William Crowley told the Brooklyn Daily Eagle.
It will be used by a Brooklyn branch of a Los Angeles restaurant, The Gorbals, which belongs to “Top Chef” Season 2 winner Ilan Hall and co-owner Natan Zion.
