The fire that shuttered the Waverly Inn on Monday night was caused by faulty electrical work in the basement. The management has not announced a reopening date, but it sounds like the wall with the Edward Sorel mural was the biggest casualty here. Owner Emil Varda tells Diner's Journal, "the damage was not serious, mainly to the mural. We’re restoring it now.” [DNAInfo, DJ]
