BURST PIPE AT 100
FORSYTH STREET BUILDING IN MANHATTAN, TEMPORARILY CLOSES BIRDS & BUBBLES
FOR FEW DAYS IN NEW YORK CITY
Pipes bursting at 100 Forsyth building leaves us w a
soaked restaurant and some tremendous flood damage.
Birds & Bubbles, chef Sarah Simmons' popular ode to
fried chicken and Champagne, is temporarily closed right now, recovering
from a burst pipe last night. Messages are a little mixed, but it
sounds like maybe things aren't as bad as they could be. Often, a burst pipe can often mean months of
repairs and thousands of dollars’ worth of damage for a restaurant, and when
Simmons describes "tremendous flood damage" on Instagram, it sounds
like that could be the case.
However, an employee at the restaurant tells Eater that
the burst pipe was in the 100 Forsyth Street building in Little Italy section
of Manhattan, not in the restaurant itself, and the restaurant is only really
closed because the water is currently shut off. She promises that the restaurant will reopen
as soon as the water gets turned back on. If that's the case, the restaurant
will probably be closed through brunch tomorrow, but may recover shortly after.
