240 Ninth Avenue between 24th and 25th Streets 212/242.4730 $230 for four, with a bottle of wine, with tip ♥ ♥ ♥ I will always be impressed when someone can make something out of almost nothing. When that something is different than usual, I’m even more in awe of the skill that comes with that…

171 Spring Street between West Broadway and Thompson 212/343.4255 $70 for three, with drinks, without tip ♥ ♥ I felt like I got the gist of Boqueria SoHo after I stopped by for “dessert” with my brother and sister-in-law during its second weekend. We walked in around 5:45pm to eat an early dinner but were…
-
165 Allen Street between Rivington and Stanton 212/253.8840 $103 each for a group of 8, with 3 bottles of wine and tip ♥ As soon as we walked up the steps to sit at our 8-person table, I thought Rayuela had promise. It was a bit too dark to read the menu without holding it…

401 West 24th Street off Ninth Avenue 212/206.6900 $83 for two, with a lot of drinks, with tip ♥ ♥ Bar Jamon was the last loud and crowded bar I fell in-love with here in New York City. That was more than five years ago. I’ve been to many good bars since then, but only…

37 East 28th Street between Park and Madison Avenues 212/213.2328 $180 for five people, with drinks and a lot of comps, with tip ♥ ♥ I can’t say that I remember much of our night in Pamplona, but when you dine with four other women, you’d bill forgetfulness as a good thing, too. I was…
-
45 Bond Street between Lafayette and Bowery 212/529.8600 $120 for two, with 3 drinks, with tip ♥ ♥ It was a Monday night and Mercat has only been open for three days, yet the decibel level made it seem like it was a Thursday night. The place is packed; the white tiles immediately reminded me…
-
205 Tenth Avenue between 22nd and 23rd Streets 212/675.8805 $84 for two people with three drinks, without tip ♥ ♥ ♥ If you’re looking for a good tapas place in New York City, Tia Pol is most likely recommended. I rarely make it around the Chelsea neighborhood, so I visited about two years after the…
-
52 Irving Place corner of 17th Street 212/253.2773 $120 for two, with two drinks, with tip ♥ ♥ Mario Batali took a lit bit of convincing to let Chef Andy Nusser open up a Spanish tapas bar under his name, but as told in Heat, a tasting knocked their socks off. Two years after they…
-
53 West 19th Street between Fifth and Sixth Avenues 212/255-4160 about $100 for two, with a few drinks, without tip ♥ Arabella and I discussed dinner options and cravings one evening: I am Frenched out for the moment (her) and Can we keep it chill? (me). Tapas, an eating concept from the Basque Country, could…

125 East 17th Street on Irving Place 212/253.2773 about $125 for two, with a few drinks, without tip ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ Jamon is Spanish for ham and Bar Jamon is the most recent translation in the New York City scene. Mario Batali’s latest digs is right next to Casa Mono, his fifth restaurant in…
