Village biz fury over TV-shoot ‘blockout’

Thanks again, Debra.

A week after she drew heat for dressing as Marie Antoinette to attend a fancy Midtown Halloween gala during the height of Hurricane Sandy’s devastating after-effects, actress Debra Messing and the crew of her NBC show “Smash” are displaying more of that let-them-eat-cake attitude toward Greenwich Village merchants struggling to recover from nearly a week with no power.

The Broadway-theater-geek TV hit will block off several major Village streets today and tomorrow for filming of the show — whose bulky generators, catering vans and star trailers will divert foot traffic and take parking spaces from scores of merchants who already lost hundreds of thousands of dollars during the four-day power outage.

“We’re just getting back on our feet in the neighborhood, and it’s a slap in the face!” fumed Stian Nilsen, owner of the Greenwich Treehouse bar on Greenwich Avenue, where power came back on just Saturday.

“NBC should reschedule or move the location to an area that didn’t lose power,” Nilsen added.

Niamh Conway, owner of the Fiddlesticks and Galway Hooker bars, was also seething about “Smash” and its equipment setting up shop outside both her joints along several blocks of Greenwich Avenue and Seventh Avenue South — all with the approval of Mayor Bloomberg’s Office of Film, Theatre and Broadcasting.

A spokeswoman for NBC/Universal Television said, “We make every effort to minimize our impact when we take our shows on location. [Today] won’t be any different.”
