Community Board 8 agenda notes list several new bars and restaurants applying for liquor licenses. These applications will be discussed during a committee meeting on Zoom scheduled for June 1 at 6:30pm. To attend the Zoom meeting, click here.

One standout from the list is Seamore’s, an NYC seafood restaurant applying for its liquor license at 1270 Third Avenue, at the corner of 73rd Street. This space was previously occupied by Papyrus, which announced in January 2020 that it would be closing all of its stores.

Seamore’s currently has locations at Brookfield Place, in Chelsea, Nolita, Dumbo and at Urbanspace on West 52nd Street. Seamore’s “SoCal inspired menu always feature[s] a rotating daily catch of seasonal fish straight from the docks of Montauk and the Northwest Atlantic.”

Popular menu items include Baja fish tacos, lobster rolls, local oysters, lobster mac ‘n cheese and tuna poke.
