This is yet another example of why people need to work with list brokers to find some newer motivated owner occupied lists - so they aren't competing against the multitudes following the same set of instructions.Most ethical list compilers will suppress their files against the Direct Marketing Association Do-not-mail list.

We put in new flooring, paint, trim, updated kitchens, and added a few walls, but kept the old charm as they were early 1900's homes.

I don’t know what the fees are like in NYC for a liquor license, but I assume pretty high.I would also make sure that there aren’t any other licenses (dancing licenses are required in some areas of you will have music and people can dance), as well as any specific fire suppression requirements (you will want to know if a sprinkler system will need to be installed when running your numbers for example), as this could easily make your project go south.
