Someone else pointed out that you can't get a liquor license for a spot within 200 feet of a house of worship in New York.
But it's not a mosque. It's an Islamic cultural center - or so claim the mosque's proponents. And if there's no mosque there yet or a place has an existing liquor license...
Mosques in the United States are always called "Islamic Cultural Center" or "Muslim Association" or the like. I'm not sure why they do that, but the name doesn't change the fact that they're still mosques.
