Sixth Avenue to Remain Chicken Wing Free

Luis Cordero, owner of Lucky Lou’s Bar and Grill, buckled like a belt last week to the demands of Sixth Avenue residents. He won’t be applying for a hard liquor license, opting instead to make the restaurant “a nice little cafe,” limited to beer and wine.

For those of you who haven’t heard, Lucky Lou’s was supposed to be a sports bar, but Sixth Avenue residents protested. The locals didn’t want “a place to get drunk and eat chicken wings,” on their quiet streets, by a library, a school and a church. Apparently, a single sports bar would have been enough to destroy the moral fabric of the entire avenue.

As it stands, we’ll just have another cafe. The children are safe from an influence that would turn them in Bud-drinking, wing-eating, football-watching heathens. Instead, they’ll grow up to be the microbrew-drinking, organic lettuce-eating, wifi moochers they were meant to be.
