Overview

There's a little more breathing room and a full liquor license at this Williamsburg edition of the best little arepa bar in the city.

History

Gone from Grand Street, not gone

We liked this Williamsburg edition of the best little arepa bar in the city for its extra breathing room and its full liquor license. In July 2022 the owners announced they would close it for good on July 31, to "rethink what makes sense"^{1, 2}. The Rockaway location, the restaurant's notice added, would stay open seasonally².
