Boom: The Current State of Keith McNally's Pie Palace

Keith McNally wasn't kidding in that RG q&a yesterday when he said of his upcoming and unnamed pizza joint on Houston and Bowery, "It's already over budget and behind schedule and I'm at the stage where I'm pulling out my hair and wishing I weren't doing it." The 282 Bowery lot has been in his clutches for almost a year now, and here was the scene today, when the fortress of plywood was briefly cracked open. But, contractors will be contractors, and the man is a known perfectionist. For now the lower Bowery will just make do with DBGB.
