Believe it or not, Boston has hit a self-imposed cap on liquor licenses and for the time being, cannot issue them to new restaurants.
This is absolutely crazy; why would anyone even bother opening a restaurant in Boston right now, since so much of the money to be made, is made either directly or indirectly through the serving of alcohol.
Boston had better get its act together soon; otherwise, restaurants that have just opened are in danger of closing right back down, and anyone who is looking to open a restaurant might go elsewhere.
