NOLITA — Celebrity hot spot La Esquina has reopened Wednesday just days after it was shuttered for conditions that were “imminently perilous to life.”
The A-list eatery frequented by Kate Hudson, George Clooney and Julia Roberts, was issued an emergency vacate order by the Department of Buildings on May 7 because the underground restaurant had "combustible ceilings and inadequate egress."
The restaurant was inspected on Wednesday by the Department of Buildings, documents on the agency's website showed, and the order was rescinded.
The eatery reopened for dinner Wednesday, the staff said.
