No More Late Nights… CB2 Closes the deal!
News from our Community Board:
Dear Neighbor:
I thought you would be interested in several recent news stories highlighting the success of Community Board 2, other boards and local elected officials in negotiating earlier closing times for bars and nightclubs.
This is an extremely positive development that is helping to bring some peace and quite to our local neighborhoods. For more information on this and other neighborhood issues, visit the Community Board 2 website

Great for CB 2! Thanks for posting this.
As someone who has been awakened countless times at 4:30 in the morning to the sound of drunken revelers shouting goodnight to each other and yelling for cabs whilst leaving the Beatrice Inn, I can only applaud any efforts to close these bars and nightclubs by 2:00 a.m.
