A quick update on the old La Playa restaurant, which has been in construction for a few weeks. When we saw construction workers in and out of the spot and asked what was coming, they told us, “Male Strip Club.” (Maybe these are the same guys who worked here.) After pressing, all we could get was that they thought it was a Mexican restaurant. After peeking in, it seemed like a decent guess.

  1. Greta,

    Couldn’t agree more….PS has TONS of Mexican along this strip…don’t forget Los Politos II and III right up the street too. Or whatever they’re called.

    Plus the new Mexican place on Union and 4th where Maria’s was. Plus La Taqueria, Rachel’s, Chiles and Chocolate, Fonda, jeez…literally the LAST thing besides Bahn Mi Park Slope needs.

    The owners who run the establishments on this corner are just downright STUPID! Look around the neighborhood FOOLS!

    We need Vietnamese (sit down non Bahn Mi) GOOD BBQ, GOOD Indian and that’s about it. Actually even a place similar to Beer Table would do well here, or something like James in Prospect Heights.

    Problem is, these people have no sense of design and the decor is usually such a turn off that no matter what food they bring it, it’s just another mediocre 5th Avenue restaurant.

    Here’s hoping the workers were right the first time and it’s male strippers.

    Mexican (unless it’s as good as Fonda) will be a fail.

  2. Ugh. The absolute last thing that corner needs is a Mexican restaurant. There’s already the crappy Mezcal’s across the corner, and El Jalapeno across the street (which we absolutely love, and eat at frequently because we’re afraid it’s not going to last, since it’s off the main drag and almost always empty). Bring on the strippers.
