nytimes.com - Three in a row the food shops sat, a tiny stretch of New York no more than a few hundred feet long that somehow contained the city itself. The patch of Second Avenue in the East Village was home to a Japanese restaurant, owned and run by a Korean family; a shop selling Belgian-style French fries founded by a woman from the Bronx; and a bodega called Sam’s Deli, the hub of generations of one Indian family that owned it for nearly two decades.
On Thursday afternoon, all three shops were consumed in an explosion that appeared to erupt from the basement of the Japanese restaurant, triggering a fire that destroyed three buildings and ravaged a fourth.
