New York's 500-foot rule (Alcoholic Beverage Control Law, section 64) bars a new full liquor license for on-site drinking within 500 feet of three or more places that already hold one, unless the State Liquor Authority finds at a hearing that it is in the public interest. In the part of Elmhurst Leasemark covers, 0 of the 16 places with a full liquor license (0%) have three or more others within 500 feet, so most addresses here would not need that hearing. A beer and wine license is not subject to the rule and does not count toward it. Distances here are between map points, so check the exact address before you sign a lease.
