Above, the view down into the bottom doorway of Bond Street Sushi, roughly where the fire that torched the establishment is said to have broken out pre-dawn this morning. The word from the scene is that, contrary to initial reports, the restaurant wasn't gutted. Rather, the fire—claimed to be "electrical" in nature—damaged the front rooms only. Cleanup, however, is gonna be a bitch.
The scene out front at 10:30am this morning.
The upstairs front bar space, largely unhurt.
Scorched sofa on the sidewalk out front.
