Fire on Grove
There was a multi-alarm fire this morning at Grove and Bleecker, with large clouds of black smoke billowing out from what spectators assumed to be the basement-level 49 Grove nightclub.
No one in the building appeared to be hurt.
New York describes 49 Grove:
"This subterranean lair reeks of exclusivity—from the seasonal stretch limo for winter smokers to the chilly PRIVÉ sign posted on the VIP door year round. Inside, uptown Ivy Leaguers and their less intellectual but equally moneyed cohorts people-watch from the plush velvet couches lining the stone walls."
The FDNY responded rapidly. They broke open the door, taking a circular saw to it. When the door opened, the street filled with smoke.
The firefighters smashed and ripped out the front door of the Scotch & Soda clothing chain store on the corner.
This is the location of the shop that took over Rebel Rebel Records' space when they were pushed out.
One Villager in the crowd noted, "I guess they're gonna have to have a fire sale."
Within minutes, the smoke had diminished. The fire appeared to be under control.
