IMPORTANT NOTICE

other Administrative Agency.

similar establishments. If your premises are situated in an area of three (3) more On Premises licenses, you will be notified and advised
to attend a informal hearing which is conducted by the New York State Liquor Authority. At the hearing, if there are no objections from the

filed an objection, the hearing will end, and you will be notified accordingly. Please do not call after the hearing, you will get a formal notification if the application is approved for the issuance of the license.
In New York State, there is no such thing as a complimentary drink in conjunction with the sale of food. You are not to serve, sell or
provide alcohol for consumption on premises without a New York State Liquor License, and no food is to be served in the tri-state area
without the proper New York City Dept of Health Permit, which must be properly posted on the premises visible to the general public and to all inspectors.
