playa-1108.jpg Gowanus Lounge noted the new sign going up on 5th and President where Lookout Hill was most recently in residence; before that it was Biscuit, and before that Night & Day, if we’re getting the chronology correct. Now, it shall be Playa, and we hope it fares better than its predecessors. That’s all we know for now. Playa folks, send us some news!

  1. Playa is being opened by the same guy who opened Barrio and who opened Calle Ocho on the Upper West Side.

    Considering Barrio’s success, I have higher hopes for this place than any of the last few incarnations.

    That guy knows how to run a restaurant.

  2. “Why would someone go to a car service waiting room?”

    For the fabulous coffee, friendly service and excitement in guessing the number of hours/days one will have to sit on an uncomfortable plastic chair with the smell of grease in the air waiting to pay $3,000 for a wheel alignment.
