almost
30
years
and
I'm
very
familiar

behalf
along

Calling
the
algonquin
club
of
boston
doing
business
as
the
algonquin
club
located
at
217
commonwealth
avenue,
holder
of
a
club
all
alcoholic
beverages
license,
has
petitioned
to
change
the
doing
business
as
of
the
licensed
business
from
algonquin
club
to
the
quinn
house.
Secondly,
has
petitioned
to
change
the
manager
of
the
licensed
business
to
meet
jin
jingan.
Lastly,
his
petition
to
pledge
the
license
to
needham
bank
attorney
patricia
malone
attorney
malone.
A
K
Are
muted
good
afternoon
members
of
the
board,
I'm
here
today
with
three
actual
petitions.
The
first
one
is
the
change
of
dba.
As
you're
aware,
the
algonquin
club
was
sold
two
years
ago
to
a
new
owner.
She
obviously
has
a
new
vision
for
the
license
venue
and
therefore
seeking
the
change
of
name
from
the
algonquin
club
to
the
coin
house.
K
The
second
petition,
we're
asking
for
approval,
is,
is
based
on
a
pledge
of
the
liquor
license
to
cover
the
extensive
renovations
that
are
going
on
in
the
licensed
premises
and
is
part
and
parcel
of
a
construction
loan
that
is
being
sought
from
needham
bank.
The
premises
is
under
extensive
renovations,
however.
It
will
we
believe
it
will
be
open
the
beginning
of
june.
K
I
know
it's
been
closed
for
a
while,
however,
the
pandemic
has
obviously
thrown
our
kind
of
a
wrench
into
some
of
the
renovations,
so
we
are
hoping
we
are
hoping
that
we
will
be
open
in
june
of
this
year.
The
third
issue
is
the
change
of
manager
from
mr
naman
hall
to
sami
hing.
K
Mr
jahang,
I
believe,
is
here
with
us
today
and
he
is
a
resident
of
the
commonwealth.
Also,
a
citizen
is
familiar
with
the
rules
and
regulations
of
this
body
and
he
has
experience
in
several
high-end
hospitality
industry,
both
in
the
united
states
and
outside
the
united
states.
I
can
answer
any
questions
you
may
have,
and
mr
jahang
is
also
here
with
me
and
he
can
answer
any
of
the
questions
that
the
board
may
have
for
him.
B
B
Did
a
great
job
she
covered
the
questions
that
I
had
for
you.
An
attorney
malone
is
the
reason
for
the
pledge,
the
construction.
K
A
Thank
you.
The
board
will
take
this
matter
under
advisement.
I
appreciate
your
time.
Thank
you.
Have
a
good
day
calling
thailand

doing
business
as

holder
of
a
common

L
Yes,

I
represent
the
new

of
thailand

L
So
what

was
the

of
the
company
of
this
restaurant,
as
well
as
the
manager
of
record,
both
unfortunately
passed

and

L
She

and
also
trying

B
Okay,

You

cover
the
questions
I

regarding
the
manager
of
record
just
want
to
make
sure
that
your
client
who's
going
to
be
the
manager
of
record.
Does
she
have
experience
in
the
food
and
beverage
industry.
M
B
Okay,
thank
you

clarification.
Commissioners,
do

any
questions,
just
our
condolences
for
your
loss.
A
Calling
79
park
plaza
llc
doing
business
as
the
oyster
club
located
at
91
park.
Plaza
holder
of
a
common
vitular
seven-day
alcoholic
beverages
license
has
petitioned
to
transfer
the
license
from
the
above
to
tdc
heritage
holdings
llc
at
the
same
location,
closing
hour
2
a.m,
david
morancy
manager,
31
president,
on
behalf
of
the
applicant.
C
Again
good
afternoon,
madam
chairwoman,
members
of
the
board,
john
aida
victoria,
quilty
and
miller
on
behalf
of
the
applicant
david
murray,
is
here
he's
the
sole
member
manager
of
this
llc,
as
well
as
the
proposed
manager
of
record
just
by
way
of
new
he,
his
llc
as
well,
was
the
prior
operator
and
owner
of
this
license
before
it
was
transferred
to
the
oyster
club
and
david
results
was
approved
at
that
time.
As
the
manager
of
record,
this
transaction
is
really
pursuant
to
a
lease
termination
agreement.
C
The
applicant
is
a
an
affiliate
of
the
landlord,
and
essentially
the
transfer
is
agreeing
to
transfer
this
license
to
allow
for
the
earlier
termination
of
the
lease
at
this
time.
The
premises
is
closed
and
for
the
foreseeable
future,
it
will
be
closed
as
the
landlord
is
seeking
a
long-term
tenant
for
this
location.
C
So
you
know
we're
aware,
obviously,
that
the
new
tenant
would
have
to
come
back
in
front
of
the
board
complete
the
community
process,
and
you
know
once
that
tenant
is
secured,
so
essentially
we're
looking
to
transfer
that,
pursuant
to
that
at
least
termination
agreement
and
again
david,
as
I
stated
before,
was
previously
approved
as
the
manager
of
record
just
prior
to
the
oyster
club
holding
this
license.
So
he
is
a
united
states
citizen,
a
resident
of
massachusetts,
as
well
as
being
familiar
with
the
rules
and
regulations
of
the
board.
B
Okay,
since
you
will
be
coming
back
to
the
board
I'll
just
hold
we'll
revisit
this,
then
just
continue
to
update
us
on
the
next
steps
of
this
location.
I
have
no
further
questions.
Commissioners
to
you,.
D
A
C
Yep
again
good
afternoon,
john
aide
on
behalf
of
the
applicant
code
jam
llc
joining
me
this
afternoon
are
the
co-owners
jamie,
bissonette
and
ken
oranger.
Both
of
these
gentlemen
are
award-winning
chefs
and
restaurant
tours
well
known
in
boston
as
well
as
outside
of
boston
internationally.
C
They
have
both
been
measures
of
record
and
have
been
vetted
through
that
process.
Ken
is
listed
as
the
proposed
manager
record
on
this
license
combined.
They
have
approximately
50
years
experience
in
the
restaurant
industry
and
they
have
an
exemplary
record
in
front
of
this
board
as
well
as
throughout
the
state.
C
C
They
are
looking
to
open
up
with
focus
on
italian.
Is
an
italian
restaurant
with
a
focus
on
lighter
seafood
and
still
working
on
the
name?
It's
a
work
in
progress
on
that,
but
we
will
be
back
in
front
of
the
board
once
that's
determined.
As
I
stated,
this
is
a
build
out
of
this
space.
C
C
It's
a
place
where
the
residents
can
go,
grab
a
food
bite
to
eat
or
drink.
They
really
think
they're
gonna
capture
a
lot
of
the
foot
traffic
once
that
gets
going
again,
and
they
really
think
that
you
know
this
is
something
that,
on
their
own
in
their
own
little
way,
they're
trying
to
revitalize
this.
You
know
neighborhood
and
get
and
get
customers
back
in.
C
And
other
than
that,
I
think
the
service
will
be
brunch
lunch
and
dinner
and
again
full
service
restaurant
at
this
location.
So
again,
it
would
be
a
great
addition.
We
did
meet
with
the
neighborhood
association
of
back
bay
and
we
had
some
very
good
discussions
with
them
and
input
and
they
were
very
eager
to
see
this
open
up.
C
I
think
in
and
everyone
is
to
to
get
it
underway,
and
jamie
and
ken
are
are
present
as
well
ken,
as
I
stated
before,
he
is
a
united
states,
citizen
and
a
mass
resident
he's
a
pre
previous
manager
of
record,
and
he
is
obviously
very
knowledgeable
in
with
the
laws
as
it
pertains
to
still
in
service
of
alcohol.
B
Okay,
thank
you
just.
I
just
have
one
question:
the
two
seasonal
outdoor
patios
from
march
to
november
on
private
property.
What
are
the
hours
you're
proposing
for
those
pads
sure.
C
Yep,
so
we
had
discussed
at
10
pm
closing.
I
believe
that
the
neighborhood
association
is
fine
with
that.
However,
we
can't
remember
if
we
discussed
further
on
this
friday
and
saturday
nights.
We
would
like
to
have
it
till
11
pm,
and
I
know
there
may
be
a
representative
here
from
the
neighborhood
association,
but
I
think
it's
something
that
they've
allowed
in
the
past
and
something
we're
obviously
very
cognizant
of
its
location
to
the
area
residents
as
well.
So
I
see
conrad's
there.
C
So
we
again,
we
we
talked
about
at
10
pm,
closing
on
sunday
through
thursday
and
11
p.m.
On
fridays
and
saturdays,
okay,.
E
Yeah
good
afternoon
round,
chair

members
of
the
board,
this
is
kennedy

The
counselor
would
like
to
go

of
support
of
this
applicant
thanks
thanks.
G
Madam
chair
members
of
the
abortionist
mental
mayor's
office
and
neighborhood
services,
the
mayor's
office
would
like
to
go
on
record
and
support.
The
applicant
didn't
meet
with
the
neighborhood
association
of
the
back
they
as
mentioned,
and
they
did
come
to
some
agreements,
including
a
1am
closing
hour.
We
do
ask
the
applicant
respect
those
agreements,
but
we
have
no
further
questions
or
concerns
yeah,
so
we
would
like
to
go
on
record
and
support.
Thank
you.

former
site
of
the
green
cross
pharmacy
that
mirror's
family
hadn't
owned.
Excuse
me
owned
and
operated
for
nearly
50
years
and
closed
down
recently
in
the
past
year
and
a
half,
but
the
space
has
been
rezoned
for
restaurant
use.
So
to
that
end,
we're
applying
to
transfer
this
liquor
license
into
the
new
location
to
allow
the
restaurant
to
commence
operations,
as
mentioned
meera,
is
the
sole
owner
and
is
the
proposed
manager
of
record
for
the
restaurant.
O
Her
husband,
sal,
who
has
many
years
of
experience
as
an
executive
chef,
will
also
be
working
at
the
restaurant
alongside
meera.
She
is
a
us
citizen,
massachusetts
resident
and
is
familiar
with
the
rules
and
regulations
running
sales,
service
of
alcohol
and
member
this
board
and
the
abcc
prior
to
coming.
Here
today
we
have
met
with
members
of
the
community,
including
both
nura
and
nunic,
and
we
received
no
opposition
to
this
application.
O
So
with
that
john
she's
excited
to
begin
operating
as
soon
as
possible
and
as
soon
as
covert
regulation
is
allowed
to
get
back
to
some
sense
of
normalcy
but
happy
to
answer
any
questions
you
may
have.
B
Oh
okay,
thank
you.
I
just
didn't
see
you
there
before,
and
your
attorney
did
a
great
job
explaining
why
you're
qualified
to
be
a
manager
of
record.
I
don't
have
any
questions.
Commissioners,
do
you.

N
Good
afternoon,
thank
you
and
good
afternoon,
madam
chan,
members
of
the
board,
I'm
alec
benelli
with
the
business
address
at
10
forbes
road
west
on
behalf
of
the
applicant
saving
crossing
llc,
doing
business
as
the
nightly
and
with
me
today
is
the
proposed
manager
of
record
john
mcdonough,
who
is
a
manager
of
the
license
of
the
daily,
both
john
and
the
daily
have
been
well
received
in
the
community.
John
has
a
stellar
record
and
reputation
as
manager
of
the
daily.
N
The
nightly
will
build
community
much
the
way
the
daily
has
successfully
done
over
the
past
year.
The
type
of
events
and
the
layout
of
the
premise
in
combination
with
the
location
are
a
natural
fit
for
gathering
and
building
community
in
saving
hill,
which
is
needed,
but
lackin.
The
nightly
is
the
ideal
location
for
the
type
of
restaurant
and
community
gathering
place
being
proposed.
N
Guests
can
arrive
at
the
nightly
by
foot
bike,
train
or
car.
The
nightly
is
across
the
street
from
the
seven
hill
train
station
along
the
mbta
red
line,
and
there
are
approximately
50
parking
spaces
that
would
be
available
to
customers
of
the
nightly
when
the
crystal
ray
school
is
not
in
session.
The
nightly
would
encourage
foot
traffic
to
the
village
commercial
district
for
neighborhood
residents.
N
Saving
hill
over
the
bridge
is
completely
devoid
of
dining
options.
The
area
is
devoid
of
the
type
of
and
scale
of
community
gathering
that
I
will
mention
to
you.
N
While
there
are
other
bars
and
restaurants
in
a
half
mile
radius
of
the
nightly,
it's
far
from
oversaturated
or
adequately
served,
none
of
the
none
offer
the
community
building
or
gathering
that
the
nightly
proposes
to
do
in
order
to
fill
a
community
want
and
need
in
the
growing
savannah
community.
There
are
many
developments
coming
online
or
about
to
come
online.
N
In
the
dot
block
development
alone,
there
are
approximately
488
units
being
constructed
already,
none
of
the
existing
license
holders
or
other
restaurant
venues
have
the
capacity
of
hosting
a
private
function.
Event
like
the
nightly
would
be
able
to
for
family
and
community
to
gather
the
nightly
concept.
Is
a
response
to
the
findings
from
the
extensive
market
research
the
applicant
has
conducted.
N
They
conducted
a
35
question
survey
with
over
400
residents
from
the
community,
the
applicant
modeled,
the
proposal
off
the
feedback
from
the
respondents.
The
nightly
will
be
a
casual
neighborhood,
italian-style
pizza,
restaurant,
focusing
on
serving
food
and
drinks
sourced
locally.
The
nightly
will
operate
daily
from
11
30
a.m,
to
11
p.m,
serving
lunch
and
dinner.
The
premises
allows
for
neighborhood
gatherings
on
the
second
floor,
function,
space
and
terrace
or
below
in
the
dining
room
cafe
and
buyer
area.
N
The
basement
square
footage
is
2
360
square
feet.
Staff
will
have
exclusive
access
to
the
rear
staircase
connecting
the
basement
and
second
level.
Portions
of
the
premise.
The
second
level
will
serve
more
for
functions
and
events
allowing
for
those
unique
community
gathering
events
I
alluded
to
earlier
on
the
second
floor.
There's
an
outdoor
terrace
on
the
premise
which
is
on
private
property.
It
would
be
open
year
round
weather
permitting.
The
second
level
would
have
a
seating
capacity
of
52
and
a
total
capacity
for
127..
B
Just
want
to
clarify,
I
know
you,
you,
your
testimony
said
that
the
patio
would
be
opening
around.
I
think
maybe
it's
incorrect
in
our
agenda.
It
says
april
1st
to
10
31,
but
you
are
proposing
year-round
right.
N
B
Okay,
so
just
so,
I
can
wrap
my
head
around
this.
The
function
space
is
is
going
to
be
also
managed
by
the
restaurant.
N
Yes,
it's
got
a
rear
staircase
that
will
have
exclusive
access
by
staff
serving
the
dining
room
area
and
the
function
space
above.
B
Okay,
thank
you
is
mr
mcdonough.
Next
to
you,.
N
B
B
I'm
just
gonna
since
you're
gonna
be
the
manager
of
record.
I'm
just
going
to
ask
you
our
standard
questions.
Are
you
a
citizen.
O
B
Q
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
patrick
fandale,
mayor's
office
of
neighborhood
services,
I
won't
go
into
too
much
detail.
I
think
the
applicant
did
a
great
job
explaining
the
need
in
the
community,
but
I
just
would
like
to
note
that
this
has
gone
through
a
full
community
process.
They've
activated
this
corner
of
seven
hill
very
well,
and
we
look
forward
to
them
working
further
in
the
community.
