Plainfield Liquor Licenses: An Interactive Map

Every June, every alcoholic beverage license in Plainfield -- and all of New Jersey -- must be renewed.

Each municipal governing body sits as a local Alcoholic Beverage Control board to hear comments from the public and act on the renewals of the town's licenses.

Google Maps now makes it possible to provide customized local maps, and I have entered the information on licenses from the Council agenda of June 9 as a map entitled "Plainfield NJ: Liquor Licenses".

Here it is --

Hover your mouse over the map. When you see a 'hand' shape, you can click on it and drag the map around to get a specific neighborhood in view. To zoom in closer (or out), use the '+ or -' clickers at the left side of the map.

Clicking on a marker will show an information window with the common business name, the corporate name, address of the establishment and liquor license number

The licenses are color coded as follows --

• GREEN = Restaurants serving alcohol
• BLUE = Bars
• RED = Liquor Stores
• YELLOW = Clubs

I will be posting photos of the establishments later.
