The Boston Licensing Board voted yesterday to suspend Young Kong's food-serving license for two days as punishment for an incident on Aug. 3 in which a police lieutenant found it open 80 minutes after its licensed 1 a.m. closing time.

Boston Licensing Board Chairwoman Nicole Murati Ferrer lambasted the owner of Young Kong, 300 Centre St., today for being found open at 2:20 a.m. on Aug. 3 - an hour and 20 minutes past the place's licensed 1 a.m. closing time.
Owner Linda Pan said she had to leave early that night because her son fell ill at home. With only one car in the family, her parents remained behind at the restaurant - and continued to take orders even as BPD Lt. Det. Eric Eversley was standing at the counter, writing up the citation that resulted in today's hearing. Eversley noted that menus on the counter showed a closing time of 1:30 a.m.

Around 2:45 p.m. on Centre Street, across from the liquor store.
Police are looking for four suspects, one a woman in a long dress with orange stripes who did the stabbing and three men, one wearing a GPS ankle bracelet and a blue-and-white striped shirt.
Because of the proximity to the Orange Line station - initial reports suggested the stabbing happened near the fare gates - the T had Orange Line trains bypass Jackson Square.

A week after the Boston Licensing Board said it had no beer and wine licenses to give to a new Asian restaurant in Audubon Circle, it found one for a Jackson Square sandwich and pizza shop.
However, the beer and wine license granted to Il Panino, 268 Centre St. is "restricted," which means that owner Themistocles Vlahoulis can't sell it if he goes out of business but instead has to give it back to the board. The license also requires the drinks be served with meals only and that he not operate a bar.
Last week, the board told Mei Mei it had no available unrestricted beer and wine licenses.
