Apparently Pentadaktylos, the Greek Cypriot men's club next to Snug, has now closed.
This marks something of a passing of an era in Harringay.
I've been told that the plan is or a Mexican restaurant, (though a nearby trader told me it's been bought by an Algerian). I guess we'll just have to wait and see, but a good Mexican restaurant would be most welcome.

For those craving Mexican food, the Prince pub in Wood Green is serving Mexican food now, and quesadillas are really good!! http://www.theprincen22.co.uk/. Lovely pub!
That would definitely be welcome!!! I really miss La Vina. It was great to have a tapas place in the neighbourhood. But a decent Mexican might tempt be out to eat out round here again
Try Brouhaha's new offshoot! Tapas there were better IMHO than LV.
Thanks I miss my tapas so I'll give it a go - is it on Green lanes?
I think it's been closed about a year now. It was for lease for months once it was emptied. Would be nice to see something interesting in there, but it's quite small and doesn't have a food license afaik.
Better than another keyblag shop
There's still Marina the Greek between Falkland and Frobisher
I've heard that Pentadaktylos was a club strictly for five-fingered old Cypriot men. The more prosaic Wikipedophiles, alas, insist it was named for Pentadaktylos, the five-fingered ridge in Cyprus's Kyrenia mountains with a couple of ridiculous myths to explain it.
For the more Homeric among us, Pentadaktylos should be the metrical name for what's more usually termed 'dactylic pentameter' - in English verse often ending with a spondaic or trochaic disyllabic foot. You'll occasionally notice a nice example masquerading as marine prose, late at night after 'Sailing By':
"SHAN-non, cyCLONic beCOMing north-WESTerly, HEADing for ROCKall " . Perfectly hypnophorously pentadactylic with a trochaic lifebelt thrown towards Rockall. Night all.
