Angelo’s on Mulberry Street Shutters Following Fire | Eater NY

"After a two-alarm fire early Saturday morning that injured 13 people, the 115-year-old Angelo’s of Mulberry St., located at 146 Mulberry St. near Grand Street, is now shuttered and expected to remain closed for months. The blaze, which began around 7:41 a.m. and required 106 firefighters and 25 trucks to bring under control by 9:20 a.m., was caused by the “accidental, careless discard of smoking materials”; two people were left seriously injured and eleven others, including one firefighter, had minor injuries. I noted that owners vowed on Facebook that Angelo’s “will be back stronger than ever,” and that the restaurant, open at that corner since 1902, has long served Neapolitan and Italian-American dishes like spaghetti puttanesca and chicken scarpariello and maintained a reputation as a still-good Italian restaurant favored by politicians and celebrities such as President Ronald Reagan and Kobe Bryant despite Little Italy’s touristy turn." - Stefanie Tuder
