The Blind Tiger

To:  New York State Liquor Authority (Zone 1)

The Blind Tiger, at 518 Hudson Street, was one of New York City's premier specialist outlets for 'high end' beer and wine until they were forced to look for new premises in 2005 due to major redevelopment of their building.

This petition is with regard to license application # 1174057 (Tiger Ale LLC, dba The Blind Tiger) for their new premises (281 Bleecker Street, NY, NY 10014), which has been pending for what most consider to be an unreasonable amount of time. We the undersigned urge the NY State Liquor Authority to grant them a full license as soon as possible so citizens of this city and visitors alike can once again enjoy the craft beers, fine wines, and artisanal foods which the Blind Tiger leads the field with.

Allegedly, concern by a small minority of local residents has been "noise and rowdiness". As with other businesses built on quality 'high end' products, noise and rowdiness is not a factor for The Blind Tiger. It is far removed from those outlets who seek the sort of person that consumes cheap mass-produced drinks associated with binge drinking and uncouth behavior - The Blind Tiger is solely about appreciation of fine beers, wines, and foodstuffs in a civilised atmosphere. It will certainly be 100% beneficial to the local community.

The author of this petition has no business relationship with Tiger Ale LLC/The Blind Tiger, except from being a regular customer in their original location. We are long overdue for the red tape to be cut and the new Blind Tiger to be granted a liquor license without further delay.

Sincerely,

The Undersigned
