The owners of Acqua in the South Street Seaport received a $25,000 grant from the City's Emergency Loan Fund to help them rebuild after Hurricane Sandy. The restaurant hosted a grand reopening party last night. Manager Daria Spieler tells NY1: "Once we got power back, which was two weeks after the hurricane, we could just start the construction...We just had no choice. We had to reopen." [NY1, Previously]
