Absolutely my favorite tapas place in the city - I've come back several times and love it more and more each time. Amazing ambiance, great for dates or groups, and an outstanding list of tapas that you won't be able to conquer in just one sitting.…More »

My favorite casual Japanese place in the city, by far. I have come here multiple times and have never had a bad experience. They put so much thought into every dish and while the food is delicious, it isn't heavy at all. Amazing selection of unique…More »

This is probably one of my favorite places in the city. An amazing little bar and restaurant on the corner of 7th and avenue A, Yuca Bar is in the heart of East Village and flaunts an amazing tapas menu. The prices on the menu were so great that my…More »
I just want to preface my review with the fact that we just about ordered everything on the menu, less the herbivorous items.
