MANHATTAN — SoHo eateries Delicatessen and Macbar reopened Friday, days after a fire tore through their ceilings.
The trendy eateries at Spring and Lafayette streets — Macbar specializes in take-out mac-and-cheese, and Delicatessen offers a sit-down menu for the see-and-be-seen set — were closed Wednesday by the fire that broke out as the restaurant was getting ready to serve breakfast at around 8 a.m.
"The only thing hot at @deliNYC today is the food!" the restaurant tweeted. "Stop by and see us, show us you missed us while we were closed!"
Chef Michael Ferraro, 30, told DNAinfo this week that workers had been finishing maintenance to the restaurants' air conditioning unit before the fire broke out.
"I guess when they were finishing up when some kind of spark in the ceiling went off," Ferraro said.
On Friday, Ferraro tweeted: "A little fire can't hold us down, back in action by 11am!!!"
There were no injuries in the fire, the FDNY said. The restaurant suffered water damage as well, a worker said.
