This Just In: Car Fire Disturbs Diners

2008_08_firecookshop.jpg

Reader Anthony just sent in this image from Cookshop, on the corner of 10th Avenue and 20th Street, saying that "diners with plates in hand abandoned their al fresco dining as thick black choking smoke headed towards the Cookshop." No word yet on whether they returned to settle their bills.

"diners with plates in hand abandoned their al fresco dining"

Oh dear god no. I hope they asked for their food to go. This is terrible. I feel for the diners.

Oh and I hope no one got hurt cuz of that car fire thing.

a better photo would been of the diner dashing out with plates in hand.

The diners are probably these newcomers to NYC.

I'm sure the outrageous attitude at Cookshop will remain unseared.

Remember when stuff like this never made the news?

I just heard from a waitress that table three had two Coronas and a Mojito and skipped without paying. Oh the horrors of trying to make a living in NYC.

and personally I'd like my Martinis shaken, not stirred.
