CAFE ON H STREET: The ANC voted 5-0, with Commissioner Wanda Stevens-Harris (6A01) abstaining, to send a letter to the Alcoholic Beverage Control Board to "not object" to the issuance of a temporary restaurant liquor license to Andrew Harris for a Phish Tea cafe, to be located at 1335 H St. NE. Jeff Coulter, secretary of the ANC's alcoholic beverage licensing committee, had told the ANC that the temporary license would be valid for only a month or two, after which the establishment would have to apply for a full license, which the ANC could then support or oppose. He said Phish Tea had presented its business plan to the committee, and that Phish Tea would be a cafe-style restaurant, with Caribbean-style food.
