Beer Garden Update!
If you've been following the story of the proposed Beer Garden on Pier 62, you'll be pleased to hear the exciting conclusion. On November 23rd, Save Chelsea, along with Chelsea Waterside Park Association and The Council of Chelsea Block Associations sent out a petition protesting the Beer Garden plan and urging others to Add their name to the list. Within a day, the petition had over 100 signatures, and was covered in DNAinfo [Link]. Within the same day, we heard that the Beer Garden plans had been cancelled with coverage on DNAinfo as well [Link].
