Restaurant A–the most charming mom-and-pop, organic, French-Caribbean place that literally takes four years for freshman to find–looked long-gone with its facade painted and a real estate agent’s sign hanging like a great blue shroud. Bwog wanted to cry and pound its tiny fists against the cold concrete.
But appearances deceived, and we’re so glad they did.
‘A,’ named for the nearby A train, has gone all grown up, scored a liquor license, and moved out of its parents’ house. Its new incarnation is located on Columbus Ave between 107th and 108th.
A call to the new location went unanswered, but the voice message–delivered in owner Marc Solomon’s impenetrable accent–said the place would open on a Sunday “very soon.”
Now the real question is this: how will A feel about our fakes?
