Applied. A new liquor license application, still with the state. Conditionally approved. The state has signed off with conditions. These are the closest to opening. NYC pre-permit inspection. A city inspector has visited. It can also mean new owners at an existing spot. Public filings are a signal, not a promise: some open late, rename or never open. How we spot openings.
