A car crashed into the back of Mr. Gyros & Burgers on Warwick Boulevard on Thursday, rupturing a gas line and sparking a fire.

Owner Michalis Eletherious said he heard a loud boom before flames spread and the power went out. Everyone got out safely, but the building was later condemned due to heavy damage.

The driver was treated for minor injuries. The restaurant, open since 2014, is now working through insurance and the next steps.

DATE SPOT OF THE WEEK

Looking for a place that sets the mood without making a big deal out of it?  Circa 1918 Kitchen & Bar does that quietly. Warm lighting. An intimate room. You sit down and feel your shoulders drop.

The food feels thoughtful without being precious. Seasonal seafood. Richer house favorites. Plates you actually want to slow down for. Add a creative cocktail and an easy pace, and suddenly we’re talking, not watching the time. Dinner stretches. You’re still thinking about it the next morning.
