New Restaurant/Bar Corner of Park Place and Franklin?

when we asked, they said restaurant/bar serving tapas
sounds good to me

yeah, that's paul's joint. not sure when it will be open, but i went inside and it was more elaborate than expected. it seems like there's a both a bar area and a dining area. i believe it's going to be a lounge/bar that serves appetizers and tapas-y shit. it'll be interesting to see how it fits into the context of the neighborhood -- will it be another liga sports lounge or this area's version of moe's?

first of all, it's not the egg sandwiches i'm talking about, it's the great chicken stew and other hot dinner food that used to be so good when paul was there. i don't know what i would have done without that place for the 3+ months we didn't have a working stove.

second, i'm sure the food at the new place will be a little fancier than brooklyn heroes', since it's not just trying to be a neighborhood deli.

third, the reason i'm excited is because paul is a terrific, friendly, person, who waves when you pass by and recognizes you on the subway and tells great stories. he's a good cook and he cares about people. so i can't wait to eat at his restaurant.
