Thank

Danny
good
morning,
Cheryl
and
Joyce
Commissioners

Tom
Miller
from
McDermott
cruelty
and
Miller
on
behalf
of
the
applicant
I
am
joined
today
by
Richard
Sullivan,
who
I
saw
a
second
ago.
He
is
one
of
the
owners
in
and
the
proposed
manager
of
record
Pinky's
is
applying
to
take
over
the
space
formerly
occupied
by
itadaki.
It
will
Rebrand
and
refresh
as
well
as
update
the
space.
Q
The
description
premise
is
changing,
but
the
premise
is
actually
not
changing.
It's
just
updating
to
better
reflect
the
space.
We're
not
the
no
walls
are
coming
down.
No
there's
no
work
really
to
be
done.
The
only
work
is
cosmetic
to
make
it
Rebrand
and
reflect
the
new
experience
that
customers
will
be
able
to
enjoy
if
the
board
sees
fit
to
Grant
this
application.
Q
These
applicants,
the
ownership
group,
are
experienced
restaurant
tours
with
Decades
of
experience
operating
successful
restaurants
in
and
around
New
England
they've
operated
other
restaurants
in
the
city,
including
Rock
and
Rye,
in
the
Theater
District,
as
well
as
ones
in
Milton
Lynn
and
Providence
Rhode
Island.
This
concept
is
a
chef
driven
one.
It's
globally
inspired
gastro
bar
serving
the
antennas
to
serve
the
neighborhood,
both
business
people
and
the
residents.
Q
Q
The
proposed
hours
of
operation
here
are
from
11
A.M
to
1am
7
days
a
week
as
I
said
earlier,
Richard
Sullivan
is
the
proposed
manager
of
record.
He
is
a
U.S
citizen,
a
resident
of
Swampscott.
He
has
extensive
experience
in
the
food
and
beverage
industry,
including
managing
two
different
rfo
Sullivan's
locations
over
the
last
decade.
Q
He
is
familiar
with
the
Mass
general
laws,
the
roles
of
the
abcc
and
the
board's
rules
for
the
assailant
service
of
alcohol.
We
want
to
thank
you
for
hearing
this
application
today.
We
do
request
that
you
defer
your
vote
on
this
application.
We
need
to
continue
our
discussions
with
the
community
and
speak
with
nav
I
saw
Conrad
on.
We
are
going
to
them
at
their
next
meeting.
We
would
be
happy
to
answer
any
questions
you
have
and
yeah
I
mean
we
would
be
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
B
R
The
volume
of
takeout,
probably
I,
would
say
at
least
half
I
mean
we
want
to
cater
to
the
neighborhood,
that's
kind
of
like
our
Niche
is
we
want
local
spot
where
you
know
everyone
can
go
to
grab
a
bite
grab.
Take
out,
grab
a
you
know,
a
cocktail,
beer
wine
and
just
really
cater
to
the
neighborhood
field.
That's
kind
of
our
ammo.
R
R
B
So
please
keep
those
two
things
in
mind
as
you,
as
your
business
plan,
evolves
we're
seeing
issues
with
this
in
other
neighborhoods
and
actually
in
this
neighborhood
too,
with
third
party
deliveries,
double
triple
parking,
causing
congestion
for
the
neighbors
and
it's
something
we're
taking
a
close
look
at
absolutely
I.
Don't
have
any
further
questions,
commissioner,
commissioner,
Saxon.
I
Okay,
and
if
you
did
utilize
them
in
the
future,
would
you
have
any
agreements
with
them
regarding
how
and
when
and
where
they
would
be
picking
up
from
you
like?
Do
you
have
other
businesses
that
have
already
worked
with
these
part?
These
apps
yes,
and
is
that
how
you
approach
it
like?
How
does
that
work?
I'm,
sorry,.
R
Yeah,
well
typically,
I
mean
well
like
say
in
the
summertime.
If
it's
you
know
the
outside,
we,
you
know
we'll
have
a
table
say
where,
if
they
just
grabbing,
you
know
with
the
names
on
the
order,
grab
it
and
then
go
so,
but
nothing's
held
up
that's
kind
of
what
I
would
be
thinking
of
doing
but,
like
I
said,
we
haven't
really
set
a
plan
for
that.
Yet
we
just
want
to
get
the
ball
rolling.
A
T
Yes,
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
Connor
Newman
with
the
mayor,
soft's
neighborhood
services.
At
this
time
the
airsoft
starts
to
defer
to
the
judge
from
this
board,
as
you
heard,
from
the
Atkins
representation,
they're
continuing
the
community
process
and
meeting
with
the
relevant
civic
association
in
the
coming
weeks.
So
we
hope
that
the
board
will
take
that
Civic
stance
into
account
with
that
we
defer
to
the
Judgment
of
this
board.
Thank
you.

This
is
an
application
seeking
the
transfer
of
an
all-alcohol
license
for
the
proposed
new
restaurant
doing
business
as
Sloans
at
197
North
Harvard
Street,
which
will
be
a
full
service,
American,
comfort,
food
style,
restaurant
replacing
the
former
our
father's
Deli
that
formally
operated
at
this
site
that
closed
down
about
I
believe
one
or
two
years
ago,
the
former
operator
entered
into
a
purchase
and
sale
agreement
to
transfer
that
license
to
the
new
restaurant
operator.
So,
together
with
this
application,
we're
also
seeking
a
pledge
of
the
license
which
will
act
as
collateral.
Y
On
the
promissory
note
that
the
loc
entered
into
to
fund
the
acquisition
it'll
be
a
relatively
straightforward
corporate
Corp
transfer
of
the
license.
There
are
no
major
alterations
proposed
with
respect
to
the
layout
itself.
Just
some
minor
cosmetic
upgrades
and
the
square
footage
hours
of
operation
and
numbers
of
seats
will
largely
remain
the
same
as
I
mentioned,
Chef
Sarah
Wade.
She
is
on
the
call
with
us.
Y
This
will
be
her
second
restaurant
in
the
city
with
the
first
being
Stillwater
and
downtown
that
she
opened
up
a
few
years
ago
after
being
Crown
the
champion
of
the
Food
Network's
chopped
competition.
So
she
hopes
to
bring
the
same
level
of
service
that
she's
been
well
received
forward
to
the
Alston

Mr

He
is
familiar

regulations
of
this
board
in
the

and
also
has
extensive
food
and
extensive
experience
in
the
food
and

industry.
AB
In
fact,
he's
a
manager
of
record
of
other
locations
in
the
city
of
Boston,
Mr,
Makari
Mr
akari
has
a
stellar
reputation
of
operating
his
restaurants
within
the
city
of
Boston.
This
location
again
consists
of
approximately
4969
square
feet
in
a
restaurant
space
on
the
ground
floor
with
21
residential
units.
Above
This
was
a
mixed
use
project
that
went
through
an
extensive
bpdea
article
80
process
and
was
approved
by
the
bpda
board
back
in
March
2021
and
subsequently
approved
by
the
zoning
board
of
appeals
in
April
2021
during
the
community
process.
AB
Neighbors
were
supportive
of
the
project,
especially
the
restaurant
has
stated.
There
was
a
public
need
for
dining
in
this
area
and
with
the
addition
of
more
residential
units.
This
will
address
the
growing
need
of
restaurants
like
this.
In
the
area,
the
restaurant
space
will
have
a
total
occupancy
of
approximately
270
with
seating
for
255,
including
outdoor
patio,
for
approximately
40
patrons.
The
outdoor
patio
will
be
specifically
located
entirely
on
private
property
and
will
not
impede
on
any
sort
of
city
old,
sidewalk
property.
The
applicant
is
proposing
a
1am
license
with
all
windows.
AB
Closing
at
11
PM

hours
will
be
Monday
through
Friday
11

Saturday

The
menu
will
consist
of
a
full
service,
American
Cuisines,
very
similar
to
some
of
the
other
locations
owned
by
Mr
akari.
As
for
deliveries,
I
know
that
came
up
in
some
of
the
questions
previously.
As
for
the
deliveries
we
have
in
in
actual
active
easement
off
of
Seven
Hill
Ave.
AB
AB
I
mean
it's
it's
his.
He
hasn't
decided
if
he's
going
to
have
any
third-party
deliveries
at
this
point
in
time.
Takeout
is
very
minimal
operational
from
you
know,
from
based
upon
his
previous
restaurants,
but
obviously
you
know
being
a
full
service.
He
will
offer
it.
We
can
direct
people
there,
but
we
just
don't
want
to
obstruct
that
easement
and
again
it
would
be
minimal.

Thank
you,
madam
chair
members
of
the
board
executive
secretary,
Greene,
I'm
sure
you
need
a
break
after
that
description.
So
apologies
on
my
part,
Leslie
Delaney
Hawkins
on
behalf
of
the
applicant
good
tacos
LLC,
doing
business
as
Naco,
taco
and
good
company
with
me
today
is
Seth
friedas,
Alex,
Tannenbaum
and
Brian
lesser,
who
are
the
owners
of
the
applicant
entity.
Mr
friedas
is
also
the
proposed
manager
of
record
we're
before
you
today
seeking
a
CV,
seven-day
all-alcoholic
beverages
license
to
operate
at
100,
Hood
Park
Drive
in
the
new
development
Hood
Park
development
in
Charlestown.
L
This
would
be
two
full-service
sit-down
restaurants,
with
distinct
Concepts,
Naco,
taco
and
good
company.
Each
would
have
their
own
separate
signage
and
dedicated
entrance
for
patrons
and
then
we'll
be
connected
at
the
back
of
house,
which
is
what
makes
this
contiguous
Naco
Taco
will
be
the
second
Knuckle
Up
Taco
location,
there's
currently
one
in
Cambridge.
This
is
a
high-end
Mexican
establishment.
Good
company
will
actually
be
a
very
different
concept.
This
will
be
high-end
but
accessible
American
Cuisine,
but
with
a
focus
on
cocktails
and
pairing
the
food
with
the
cocktails.
L
In
fact,
they
will
actually
be
cutting
their
own
ice
at
the
premise
for
these.
These
high-end
mixed
alcoholic
and
non-alcoholic
drinks
we're
seeking
a
closing
hour
of
2
A.M
inside
and
midnight
on
the
outdoor
patios
located
on
public
property.
As
attorney
green
noted,
this
is
approximately
5500
square
feet.
Good
company
will
have
45
seats
indoors
and
16
seats
Outdoors,
while
Naco
Taco
will
have
90
seats
indoors
and
14
Outdoors.
The
applicant
is
only
seeking
non-live
background
music
and
television.
There
is
no
there's
no
live
entertainment
associated
with
this
request.
L
We
anticipate
hiring
approximately
40
patrons
to
the
chairs
question
regarding
take
out.
Takeout
is
a
very
small
portion
of
this
operation,
approximately
20
percent,
one
of
the
really
positive
things
about
this
development
is
that
because
it
is
new,
develop
development,
it
is
built
for
this
use.
So
there
are
loading
zones
in
front
of
the
establishment,
which
is
actually
on
a
private
way
to
ensure
that
there's
no
issues
with
double
parking.
L
Additionally,
all
of
the
deliveries
and
Pickups
will
be
handled
through
a
dedicated
loading
zone
in
the
rear
of
the
space,
and
so
the
development
was
very
thoughtful
about
the
uses
that
were
being
proposed.
One
of
the
real
benefits
is
also
that
there
are
no
direct
residential
abutters
at
this
establishment.
It
is
all
commercial
and
lab
space
within
this
this
physical
space.
L
So
the
concerns
about
noise
emanating
from
the
premise,
while
this
has
undergone
significant
construction
to
ensure
that
doesn't
happen,
we
don't
have
residential
neighbors
above
us,
which
we
know
is
a
problem
in
and
throughout
Boston
in
terms
of
the
public
need.
The
board
is
aware
of
the
new
hood
Park
development,
which
consists
of
approximately
1.8
million
square
feet
of
office
and
lab
use,
a
hundred
thousand
square
feet
of
retail
space,
335
new
units
of
Housing
and
150
hotel
rooms,
there's
also
over
one
acre
of
active
outdoor
space.
L
There's
a
clear
need
for
public
there's,
a
clear
public
need
for
additional
food
and
beverage
establishments
to
support
the
residents,
the
workers
and
the
visitors
to
this
exciting
new
development.
Additionally,
by
proposing
two
very
distinct
concepts
for
one
license,
we
submit
that
this
would
be
an
excellent
use
of
one
of
the
neighborhood
restricted
licenses
that,
as
the
board
is
aware,
Charlestown
is
one
of
the
neighborhoods
that
qualifies
for
one
of
these
licenses.
L
Mr
Freitas
is
a
U.S
citizen
he's
a
resident
of
the
Commonwealth.
He
has
extensive
experience
in
the
food
and
beverage
industry
and
he's
familiar
with
the
rules
and
the
regulations
of
this
board,
the
abcc
and
the
laws
of
the
Commonwealth,
as
they
pertain
to
the
sale
and
service
of
alcohol.
And
finally,
we
did
attend
a
public,
a
Butters
meeting
hosted
by
the
mayor's
office
of
Neighborhood
Services.
