Local Business Temporarily Closed Due to Water Damage

On Christmas, Three Peas Art Lounge located at 75 E. 16th St. sustained water damage. A sewer backup has been blamed as the culprit. Co-owner and gallery curator, Maya-Camille Broussard said via e-mail communication that “A restoration company has been bought in, but I’m unsure as to how long it’ll take to put everything back together.”
