Zoning, Licensing and Construction Committee
Meeting Agenda
Tuesday, May 25, 2010, 7:00 PM
The Pilot House, 2 Atlantic Avenue

Zoning and Licensing Applications
7:00 PM – 7:15 PM
76 Salem Street, formerly Paesano Restaurant, Nick Cerundolo plans to open a new restaurant in this long-vacant space and has applied to the Boston Licensing Board for a new beer and wine license with hours of operation no later than 11:00 PM Sunday through Thursday and midnight Friday and Saturdays.  The plans do not include a bar.  The previous beer and wine with cordials license operated by Paesano’s Restaurant and earlier by Ristorante D’Amore, which included a 2:00 AM closing hour, was transferred out of the neighborhood several months ago.  A new license at this location will increase the total number of pouring licenses in the neighborhood to 91, by the ZLC Committee’s count, of which two are not in active use (restaurants Eclano and Grezzo, both closed).  NEWRA’s Alcohol License Policy caps the number of pouring licenses at 91, approved by NEWRA members in February 2006.

  1. The undersigned is a resident of Harbor Towers. I have been closely following the proposal to redevelop the Harbor Garage and I would like to make sure that members of the City Council, the BRA, the City Administration and members of the Legislature know my position.
    I believe very strongly that the Harbor Garage should be redeveloped and that there is a unique opportunity to make an important and major contribution to the public realm, the benefits of which will accrue to not only the fellow resident of the water front but also to all of the citizens of Boston and the region.
    I ask that you all do everything in your power to encourage the City Administration to work faithfully with the developer towards a workable and feasible compromise.
    Thank you,
    Frank Nasisi
