A fire broke out on the top floor at 206 West 79th Street above Coppola’s restaurant on Friday afternoon.
The blaze on 79th between Amsterdam and Broadway was out in less than hour, and no injuries were reported. It was called in at 2:40 p.m. and the fire was under control by 3:32, according to an FDNY spokesman.
The cause was still under investigation.
