[Image via Facebook]

La Palapa, the Mexican restaurant at 77 St. Mark's Place between First Avenue and Second Avenue, is celebrating its 17th birthday... Per their Facebook page: "Love our fabulous team, guests and the whole La Palapa family! Special people make a special place."

Seems like a good time to revisit our January 2014 interview with owner Barbara Sibley (right here).

[Updated] Reader report: Small fire Smoke spotted above La Palapa


Via @pablo_escolar comes word that passersby spotted smoke on the ledge/balcony above La Palapa on St. Mark's Place, just west of First Avenue. The FDNY were quickly on the scene and seemed to have the situation under control, he reported. More to come, if necessary...

All is well. Restaurant is open as usual... the smoke/flames/raging inferno had nothing to do with La Palapa, we're told...

Updated:
DNAinfo has a report too...Apparently some garbage on the balcony somehow caught fire... "It was no big deal," Judy Maeda, the restaurant's maître d’, told DNA. "It was just smoke, no flames."
