Who knew Barrio was going to become a mini-empire in Park Slope? Turns out they’re the folk behind the new restaurant Playa, which is on President Street and Fifth Avenue, the site that used to be Night and Day, Biscuit and something else. It was fast looking like a doomed restaurant spot to me. Maybe the Barrio/Playa folks can break the spell.

Now it’s got a very cheerful, summery vibe (love those paper lanterns and the yellow paint). The folks over at Fucked in Park Slope, a new Park Slope blog, are giving it a big fat thumbs up. And just like Barrio, Playa is offering a 15% discount to all during their first weeks.

Here’s an excerpt from the FIPS eview:

Greg
and I checked out Playa, Barrio’s new younger, flirtier Latin American
sister space, on Sat night, and it totally rocked. I give it a (mostly)
big, fat, thumbs up.

Spencer Rothschild and partner/chef Adrian Leon are the boys slash brains behind Park Slope fave Barrio on Seventh Ave, and Playa (along with the adjoining Cabana Bar) seem to round out their Latin lovin BK empire handily.

Best of all, while the restaurant is in "previews," everyone enjoys a 15% discount that’s automatically applied to your bill!
