The Friends of the High Line have gotten the green light to open two open-air drinking establishments on and under the High Line. A spokesperson from the group tells us that Community Board 4 has just given its blessing to their liquor license applications. Pending SLA approval, a small, 40-seat establishment will operate on the Chelsea Market Passage, above 15th Street and 10th Avenue. And a much larger, 350 seat watering hole will open on the street level, further north at 30th Street, in what is currently a parking lot.
The beverages there will be served by Colicchio & Sons, which has a cozy relationship with the High Line, having already sold donuts and hot chocolate up there. There will also be food to go along with all the drink; when the plans were announced in March, the Friends of the High Line promised that "like the plantings on the Line itself, should reflect seasonality." Now we're told that food trucks are being corralled to provide the vittles at 30th Street, but they're still deciding which food trucks will get the contract.
