95 Avenue A, home of Gin Palace, is apparently sinking



That's the word from owner Ravi DeRossi, who told Eater that the building that houses Cienfuegos, Amor y Amargo and Gin Palace is currently sinking into the ground.

To remedy the situation at 95 Avenue A (at East Sixth Street), Gin Palace will close after service this evening while crews address the structural issues. (The other two bars will somehow remain open.)

The Gin Palace Facebook page estimates they will be closed for two months.

    What about the residents? Do they have to leave? Or are there no apartments upstairs in that building?

    In any case, it's making me nostalgic for the days when Pisces occupied that space--remember when that was one of the only "upscale" dining options in the neighborhood? At least it wasn't a bar. And as I recall they had a delicious tuna steak that came in two sizes--I feel like the small portion cost only $4.00 in the mid-90s, though surely that can't be right....

    I forgot about pisces, it was an excellent restaurant. When my son was around 9ish it was his favorite fancy place.

    Have you seen this lately?? They've erected a row of large steel buttresses, bolted into the sidewalk, to hold up the building. I'd be surprised if it's just for two months!
