"Uptown waterfront party spot La Marina — whose owner was accused of bribing the mayor in a 2016 City Hall scandal — has again run into trouble with the State Liquor Authority. The state has labeled the restaurant a “safety risk” to the public and suspended its liquor license last week, the Post reports. State Liquor Authority chairman Vincent Bradley said the outdoor Inwood restaurant poses a risk to its employees as well as the surrounding neighborhood, according to the Post. The state is working to permanently remove the venue’s license, according to Patch, which could prompt a closure. It’s the latest hiccup in a series of controversial scandals the restaurant has faced in recent years." - Carla Vianna
