New Restaurant for 230 Fifth Avenue
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…

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!
Why would someone go to a car service waiting room? Isn’t the object to call the car and have it come and pick you up? Am I missing something?
ownhs…you just shattered me.
What a disappointment…Playa, as in Beach.
Now, I’m hatin’ on Playa.
Only one thing to do, Replay the Shaggy CD…and I’ll be back to normal.
I LOVE car service waiting rooms.
Hey ownhs, I just mentioned the tiki bar in the Jerry Minsky thread. What a co-inkidink.
The reason you never see anyone in Star of India is because the interior has all the charm and ambience of a car service waiting room. I almost feel badly for them, but they could put a little effort into that place. Certainly they must be aware that people aren’t attracted to restaurants that look like they were torn from a strip mall in Secaucus. They are nice people though, so I hope they figure it out. I have a feeling they’ll need to make some hard decisions once Baluchi’s opens.
Playa is the restaurant that goes with the tiki bar around the corner. Owned/opened by the people that have Barrio up on 7th.
Yep….I’m giddy.
I was going to mention it, but wanted to stay modest.
And I’m listening to Shaggy. Gonna go put on my short shorts and glass pumps and start dancing.
Thanks Lisa for the Word of the day – Playa!
BRG…are you still drunk from celebrating your QOTD???
Just hear the word ‘Playa’ again.
Shaggy is on a roll.
If they’re competing with Star of India, I think their new motto should be,
“Don’t hate the Playa, hate the Ghee!”
