Last night Abi and I took Jonny to Williamsburg for a little look around - we were going to go for some pizza at Fornino, but when we got to Brooklyn we changed our minds and decided to try something different.
So we ended up going to a place called El Almacen, an very unassuming looking place of Driggs Avenue (the road that runs parallel to Bedford Avenue). It had a rusticy well loved sign outside, and beautiful lettering painted on the windows and from what we could see through the windows it looked lovely and cozy.
(I didn't take this photo, it's off t'interweb)We went in and soon realised that it was an Argentinian restaurant, with everything on the menu being in Spanish and the Argentinian beer and wine. We went from being not very hungry to being starving after reading the menu - it all sounded delicious.
Abi had chicken enchiladas, Jonny had chicken roulade and I had a paella, we all tried a little of each others and all of them were DELICIOUS!
It was a lovely, warm and inviting little restaurant with rickety tables and wobbly chairs - none of which matched each other, all the decorations were old, with old butchers equiptment, old bakers baskets hanging up on the walls and lovely decorative mirrors. It had a great atmosphere.
I think Abi and I are going to try and explore a bit more in Brooklyn this weekend and try some new places that neither of us have been to before, so I'll keep you posted on what we find...
