Cafe Pick Me Up sidewalk cafe remains closed



As you can see, the Cafe Pick Me Up sidewalk cafe outside 145 Avenue A at East Ninth Street has been closed all day…

This after a little drama last night around 6:30 …



… when the NYPD and FDNY responded to a report of falling debris at the building…



As you can see, part of the widow framing on the third floor fell …



No word on the extent of the damage (the DOB website is down) or when the sidewalk cafe will reopen.

Unrelated, Icon Realty bought the building last month for $10.1 million, according to public records.

Thanks to EVG reader William Klayer for the photos from last evening.

People must be really bored if they stood around watching that "drama".

I must be really bored if I am posting a comment about it, then!

I wonder what rents are like in this building? I guess too low to actually reinvest in a little upkeep. (sarcasm)

In other exciting news inspired by these photographs, why are NYC street lamps so ugly?
