Ambassadors Clubhouse Fire Temporarily Closes Doors in Nomad

## Fire Breaks Out at Ambassadors Clubhouse A fire has temporarily shut down the Ambassadors Clubhouse, a highly sought-after Indian restaurant in the Nomad neighborhood of New York City. According to reports, the fire occurred this morning at the restaurant located at 1245 Broadway, near West 31st Street. The fire was classified as an all-hands situation, which is a serious enough incident to require the response of at least four engine companies. Videos of smoke billowing out of the building and flames surrounding the entrance have been shared on social media platforms, including Instagram. Fortunately, the fire occurred when the restaurant was closed, and no one was present at the time. A representative for the restaurant has stated that Ambassadors Clubhouse will remain closed until the team can safely reopen. ## Background on the Restaurant Ambassadors Clubhouse is a relatively new addition to the New York City dining scene, having opened in January. The restaurant is a collaboration between JKS, the team behind popular London restaurants Bibi and Mayfair Indian Gymkhana. The restaurant is located in the same building as A24's New York headquarters, which is known for producing independent films such as *Marty Supreme* and *Moonlight*. The fire at Ambassadors Clubhouse is not an isolated incident, as it is at least the second high-profile fire to affect a New York City restaurant this year. In July, Gabriel Kreuther's Saverne restaurant in Hudson Yards was forced to close due to a fire, although it has since reopened. Last year, Monterey steakhouse, run by chef James Tracey, temporarily shut down due to a two-alarm fire, requiring over 100 firefighters to extinguish the blaze. The cause of the fire at Ambassadors Clubhouse is currently unknown, and an investigation is likely to be conducted to determine the source of the blaze. In the meantime, the restaurant will remain closed until it is deemed safe to reopen.
