Sunset Park neighbors help restaurant owners after fire
A family-owned Sunset Park restaurant sustained devastating damage in a two-alarm fire that ripped through the building where the eatery is located, but a group of neighbors is trying to help the owners in the aftermath of the blaze.
The fire erupted in a two-story building at 5311 Fourth Ave. just before Christmas, destroying much of the interior of Borin’Queyz Restaurant, a popular place on the ground floor where local residents often dined on barbeque chicken and other tasty dishes in a home-like atmosphere. No one was injured in the fire, but the blaze has put the restaurant out of business at that location for the foreseeable future, neighbors said.
In the wake of the fire, neighbors are organized a donation drive for the family that owns the restaurant.
