The Early Word: Panel Votes to Urge 2 a.m. Cutoff Time For Barclays

Late-night alcohol sales emerges as a big issue as the September scheduled opening of the 19,000-seat arena edges closer.

1. In an occasionally emotional meeting, Community Board 6 last night voted, 21-9, in favor of a resolution urging the New York State Liquor Authority to set a 2 a.m. cutoff time for alcohol sales at Barclays Center. The measure also called on Levy Restaurants, Barclays Center's food and drink supplier, to end alcohol service after the third quarter of NBA games and to institute a cutoff time an hour before any scheduled event. Brooklyn Speaks currently has an online petition calling on the state to set strict limits on alcohol sales at Barclays.
