On Friday a giant mirror fell on some diners at Balthazar. What other pieces of restaurant design are an accident waiting to happen?
Just pray this gigantic chunk of salt at Chefs Club doesn't come crashing through its glass cube.
Depending on where you sit at the '21' Club, you might get nailed with a baseball bat, a toy truck, or any number of other things. At least they provide helmets.
The many Murano glass chandeliers hanging in Santina are beautiful, but also heavy and covered in spikes.
Hunt & Fish Club is floor to ceiling mirrors and marble. How long until some socialite spills a drink, slips, and smashes that column?
Freeman's is well known for it's wealth of taxidermy, but imagine if that ram head were to fall. A headbutt from horns like those is no joke.
Yes, there's a monstrous chandelier hanging from the ceiling, but the scariest thing about the Rainbow Room might actually be the rotating dance floor.
Luckily there are a lot of wine bottles to break your fall if you break through the floor while waiting for a drink at BKB.
Upland's glowing wall of pickled things is lovely to look at, but imagine a domino effect situation. In an instant, the entire restaurant could be bathed in brine.
Though not the heaviest piece of restaurant decor, the busts that line the walls of Dirty French are one of the creepiest things that could fall on you.
Mind boggling wine storage situation going on at Red Stixs. At least the bottles are properly stored on their sides.
The terrifying spiral staircase that leads from to the bathroom at Raoul's. Not to be attempted by anyone with vertigo or more than a couple drinks in their system. [Photo: Yelp]
The glass racks at Corbuzz's Chelsea Market defy physics. Especially with such fine, slender stems, this wall is a glass landmine.
Prova's stack of firewood looks charming, but could this be the scene of SplinterGate 2016?.
Gone but not forgotten. The ceiling of hanging swords at the now-defunct Kobe Club is hands down the most terrifying thing any New Yorker has ever dined under. [Photo: Flickr]
