11217, I highly recommend it. Great food, lovely sense of community, really nice Argentinian owner, pretty decor. Unfortunately, last I was there they still did not have their liquor license and couldn’t let people do BYOB, and the food seriously needs wine, so that is a big drawback. If you go, I recommend the spinach salad and the short rib entree (NOT the short rib from the grill). And the churros are out of this world.
900 bucks to live off one of the best blocks in the city? Not a bad deal.
I RENTED a studio on Attorney Street on the LES for 900 a month in 2003 and thought that was a great deal. If anyone is familiar with the LES – you’ll know Attorney is no Montgomery.
300 sq ft – so what? it’s valuable to know what your housing costs will be for the next 30 years.
And the sale will appear here in the Under A Million thread.
Real estate is getting cheap fellas, too cheap. You wait at your peril. Learn something.
11217…i’m going to look at the house on the corner of adelphi & Lafayette on Tuesday at 6:30. Want to come along???
cornerbodega, if I buy it’ll be an all cash deal and i’ll put about another $400-500,000 into it.
> I’m actually headed out in Williamsburg tonight
Who are you, and what have you done to 11217?
😉
I haven’t mopar. Do you recommend it? I’m actually headed out in Williamsburg tonight, and if you think it’s good perhaps that could be a good dinner spot.
11217, have you been to El Almacen in Williamsburg?
Hmmm, I still wouldn’t risk my money there. Did you check out other Latin American countries. I know some people who bought in Montevideo and are very very happy. I think for that money, I would choose a more stable country personally but that’s me. Thanks for the personal input though.
I just came from Dominican and the resort was full of Argentinians. Mucho eye candy.
You want a studio for $75k?
Move to Yonkers.
Problem solved.
