The Bazaar by José Andrés
This José Andrés restaurant in the Ritz-Carlton serves food inspired by Japan and Spain, and toro covered in cotton candy, for some reason.

La Barra is Mercado Little Spain's requisite tapas spot and has one of the best Happy Hours in Hudson Yards.

El Quijote
El Quijote originally opened in 1930 in the bottom of Hotel Chelsea, and the Spanish food here is all better than what’s typically found at NYC’s legendary landmarks.
Il Buco
Il Buco in Noho serves outstanding pasta, risotto, and steak in a setting that looks like a farmhouse in the Italian countryside.
Cervo’s
Despite the wait times, we wholeheartedly recommend having a fun, seafood-dominated meal at Cervo’s on the Lower East Side.
Socarrat Nolita
At Socarrat Nolita, the only way you are having a comfortable meal sitting at the massive communal table is if you have the body frame of Beaker from The Muppets. Bring a bigger group so you can sit at a real table and enjoy your delicious paella in peace.
El Quinto Pino
This restaurant/wine bar in Chelsea from the folks who brought you Tia Pol and Txikito delivers solid authentic Spanish eats, wine, and sangria.
Bar Jamón
Bar Jamón is basically Casa Mono's waiting room. However, for that First/Early in the Game Date, where dinner feels too formal but you are also starving, Bar Jamón was designed for you.
Ernesto’s
Ernesto’s is a Basque-inspired restaurant on the Lower East Side where you’re going to want to hang out for a while.
Boqueria
The Flatiron location of this Spanish tapas chain has a casual space that’s good for groups.
Babs
Babs is a nice restaurant in Greenwich Village that serves excellent Basque food, but it’s not perfect for everyone.
Tia Pol
Tia Pol is a Chelsea tapas spot that’s a great move for early-in-the-game dates. Have some sangria and some small plates.
Socarrat Paella Bar
No bigger than a subway car, Socarrat packs the majority of their patrons on bar stools and does paella like they do in Spain.
The Ten Bells
The Ten Bells is a natural wine bar on the Lower East Side that serves some good small plates and $1 Happy Hour oysters every day.
