Medjool Goes Before the City Tonight to Plead for Rooftop

Nearly 10 months after it was first noticed to be illegal and one extensive neighborhood campaign later, the Medjool rooftop bar—which, it should be noted, has remained open—will finally get its moment of truth tonight at the Board of Appeals meeting at 5PM (sixth item). The fate of the city's only rooftop bar might be hanging in the balance. Meanwhile, our colleagues at Curbed note that Medjool's rooftop bar is upsetting more than just the city planners lately: it's disturbing the Buddhists too. Hate to see that.
