[Updated: The folks at Nublu said everything is OK and they will be open tonight. Someone tossed a cigarette butt in a trash can in the entryway, we're told.]
During the time of the fire scare, there was a sold-out party hosted by The Drunken Canal (your favorite newspaper).
This morning, you can find the issue — usually found only down in the box off Canal and Essex — on the southeast corner of 10th Street and Avenue C... (thanks to the reader for the pics!) ...Do not come! Do not come! (literally a fire) pic.twitter.com/VxdjgpUUJs

Hope it's ok. NuBlu is one of my absolutely favorite places in the entire world. (shhhh... don't tell just anyone)
ReplyDeleteI live two blocks down. I heard the sirens. Hope there isn't that much damage and everyone is okay. I can't understand for the life of me why there are always fires here in this small radius of blocks, especially around C and 7th. It's very strange.
ReplyDelete11:00..When I grew up there in the '60's and '70's there were fires every day there especially car fires.
ReplyDeleteNublu is fine. It was a trash fire, almost definitely from someone throwing a lit or hot cigarette into a trash can, which was in the exit corridor, not the main room. There was a lot of smoke, definitely could have been much worse if there had been more flammable material nearby.
ReplyDeleteGlad our prayer circle worked!
ReplyDeletestreets need the Drunken Canal x EV Grieve collab
ReplyDeleteIt was actually a concert for band & friends of the newspaper, The Hellp, hosted by the Drunken Canal
ReplyDeleteSo strange. DJed a show there last Saturday and the smoke alarm kept going off and the firefighters showed up then too... Glad all is fine and well! Love Nublu!
