"In the Seaport District, Empire — a 14,000 sq. ft Asian restaurant and lounge operated by Big Night Entertainment Group — was the site of an alleged glassware attack in January that left a bouncer with 100 stitches and possible permanent loss of vision in one eye; the restaurant is going before the licensing board this week to determine whether it should be punished for failing to foresee or prevent the incident." - Rachel Leah Blumenthal
