Life in and around Hell’s Kitchen, NYC
It’s the 4th of July, so red, white and blue is covering the area. In prepration for the fireworks on the river tonight, we checked out what’s going on down 9th Ave.
As usual, Tagg got right into the spirit of the day:
Schmackary’s gave us another fun message:
Amy’s Bread were closed today, but still had their Americana display up:
And a few other places had the sandwich board promotions out:
El Azteca, the popular Mexican restaurant/bar on 9th Ave just north of 52nd St, was shut down recently by the Department of Health:
The restaurant’s decided to make the most of the situation, however, and has decided to renovate the interior. It’s only been three days, and they’re already deep into the refitting.
They’ve had a pretty rough history in past health inspections, with a number of violations, but the closure was a first.
Here’s hoping they’re back up and running soon, with the health “issues” fixed.
