The State Assembly will soon consider a bill that would force rooftop bars (on buildings less than 10 stories tall) and backyard bars (within 500 feet of residences) to close at 11 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays and 10 p.m. on other nights. Surprisingly, the legislation wasn't introduced by reps from the East Village and Lower East Side, but from the Assemblywoman acting on behalf of Brooklyn Heights and Carroll Gardens. Et tu, Gowanus Yacht Club neighbors? [WSJ]
