It's Official, No More New Bars for North Beach

Curbed's Andy J. Wang delightfully points out that North Beach might soon see a "glorious new age of shoe outlets and hammer stores," a la Union Street. Why? Because Aaron Peskin's booze-hawking restaurant and bar ban passed yesterday by a vote of 9 to 1 (with Michela Alioto-Pier, of course, being the only, lonely naysayer.) Anyway, the North Beach Chamber of Commerce is nutting hard over this one since this is bad for business. What about you? (Curbed)
