Editorial Review

Williamsburg's coziest South American kitchen. Spanish for general store, which in Argentina apparently means chairs hanging from the rafters, grandma wallpaper, antler art. Playfulness extends to menu: maté-braised short ribs and a side of avocado fries. Cheap steaks for cheap dates. Ceviche bar to shut up pesky pescetarians, and only a kitten-kicker could hate corn on the cob slathered in cheese. Out back is candlelit, ideal for pondering the eroticism of flan.
