MoMA PS1 in Long Island City (DNAinfo/Ewa Kern-Jedrychowska)
LONG ISLAND CITY – Hunters Point may be saturated with bars and restaurants, but local residents and members of Community Board 2 showed overwhelming support for booze being served at MoMA PS1.
A joint liquor license application submitted by PS1 and the owners of M. Wells Dinette, who ran foodie hotspot M. Wells until it closed last year, got the nod from the City Service and Public Safety Committee of Community Board 2 to serve liquor at M. Wells Dinette, which is scheduled for a June launch inside PS1.
