Meraki Greek Bistro Williamsburg

Restaurants Near the Steam Pipe Explosion Are Losing Tens of Thousands of Dollars | Eater NY

"I saw that Merakia, a Greek steakhouse on 21st Street, only regained access on Sunday and has been throwing out product, logging photos for insurance, and doing other prep work to get back up and running; the space was 100 degrees because the owner shut off the air conditioning on Thursday to avoid drawing in asbestos. Merakia can reopen only after approvals from the DOH, FDNY, NYPD, Con‑Ed, and the EPA, with the Department of Health requiring debris removal, HVAC filter replacement, air-quality assessments, and related inspections, and staff are scrambling to replenish stock while some customers cancel reservations." - Stefanie Tuder
