8. Le Madri ** [Rating: 2 stars] (212) 727-8022 168 West 18th Street Chelsea $$$$ All major cards Le Madri's splendid, airy Tuscan-style setting is effectively evoked by its vaulted ceiling supported by columns, strategically aimed overhead lights, well-placed tables and exposed wood-burning tile oven in the dining room.
The main energy source was firewood for residential heating, cooking, and lighting, as well as serving for high-temperature processes like iron ore reduction, burning bricks and tiles, or glass melting, etc.

It has a wood-burning fireplace, tile floors and an electric stove set in a granite-topped island.
The peak burning rate of workstations that collapsed before they burned is about half that of intact workstations, probably because the material in the workstations was compressed and partly covered with the fireproof ceiling tiles.
Fireproofing in the floors was still more impressive, with an archlike arrangement of tile a foot thick having stopped the flames from burning through one story to the next.
And Diana Pham, 25, at the Viet Cafe, commented: "We thought something was burning in the restaurant but it wasn't, we searched everywhere... a tile suddenly broke, the paint has bobbled too".

The Sustainable Dance Floor is composed of tiles which each contain a small generator so as you're burning up the club with your incredible shapes they get converted into electricity, which can then be used to power the visuals or the decks, or the LEDs embedded in the tiles.
For the next few hours I lay on the bathroom floor throwing up, letting the tile cool my body as it shook uncontrollably after each episode, first freezing, then burning.
