Palo Santo: For classy winos who like to get their South American swerve on, Palo Santo serves it up in a sleepy Park Slope kitchen reminiscent of Grandma’s house; if Grandma had a decoupage-style bar and Bolivian burlap sacks hanging on her walls. The chilled red Carmenese from Colchagua, Chile, will please those who still secretly sneak a cube into their swill, (among other great wines on the list) and if you have had one too many, the prix fixe menu promises an appetizer, entrée, and dessert for $25. Find a stranger to share the rabbit taquitos with in the back at the communal tables. Just try not to sound too pretentious as you describe the meditative fountain outside to your new best friend. |
