Times Square shootings won’t stop eatery Bond 45 from reopening

Restaurateur Shelly Fireman said he’s “scared [bleep]less” by Times Square shootings that landed on Page One of The Post — but not enough to stop him from reopening Bond 45, his West 46th Street Italian eatery that was closed since March 2020. 

The jumbo-size favorite of theatergoers, tourists and showbiz boldfaces reopened its doors last week, while other large Times Square-area eateries such as Sardi’s, Carmine’s, Barbetta and Virgil’s BBQ remain dark.  “The world isn’t coming to an end that quickly,” Fireman said of the recent uptick in crime. There have been no incidents near Bond 45 since a ricocheted bullet wounded a tourist outside The Marriott Marquis hotel Sunday, he said.
