Several East Village business owners returned to work yesterday to discover an unwelcome gift after the frigid holiday weekend.
We heard that frozen pipes burst in a handful of storefronts, causing damage at Moge Tee on Cooper Square between Seventh Street and St. Mark's Place (above) and Gama Lounge, the comedy club in the basement of 50 Avenue B between Third Street and Fourth Street (below) among other establishments...
Other businesses that suffered water damage include Flower Power at 406 E. Ninth St. between First Avenue and Second Avenue ... and Via Della Scrofa, the Italian specialty shop at 60 E. Fourth St. between Second Avenue and the Bowery.
In an Instagram post, the folks at Via Della Scrofa said they'd be closed for the remainder of the year.
One EV super told EVG contributor Stacie Joy that there were reports of broken pipes "all over the place."
