The essence of Spanish food is enjoying rich delicacies made with high quality ingredients over a long conversation with friends. Spain has brought one of the world’s best cuisines in the world to New York and the world’s biggest food trend – tapas. And this is well appreciated by a Spanish food lover in US. Here we find great joy in two dishes that have become a crowd favorite in no time. Churros and chorizo. Each of these Spanish cuisine specialties have a big fan following in whether it’s in a restaurant or on the street. What makes chorizos an instant favorite is that this simple spice pork sausage can be had in so many ways. Spanish food lovers can play with it and add a sauce to make it their own. As for churros, who doesn’t love fried dough with sugar and cinnamon coating dunked in chocolate? It is not just these dishes, there are other popular foods like patatas bravas – crispy fried potatoes, and paella. Paella is a simple rice dish with so many varieties that foodies consider it the most versatile comfort food of the world.
Spanish people celebrate life. And they do it with delicious food and wine. Although tapas is what is the hero of a Spanish restaurant’s menu, the true authenticity is known by the Spanish wines served. Other than the great wines, Spanish restaurants in New York try to use a very diverse range of Spanish ingredients, like the great cured meats and cheeses, dried peppers like guindilla and ñora, and spices like pimentón de la Vera. Cheeses of every type are a Spanish food necessity. They are made from sheep, cow, goat, and mixed milks. They range from aged cheeses, such as the manchego, to the soft and creamy cheeses such as tetilla. And all these cheeses are eaten as tapas dishes, during meals and also for dessert. No wonder, Spanish cuisine is constantly on the rise. After all, Spanish cuisine has everything starting from halibut to shrimp and even octopus and baby eels. Fish and shellfish are all essential for a Spanish food lover in authentic Spanish restaurant menus. But not every restaurant in NY understands what a Spanish cuisine lover in US wants.
But one restaurant in Midtown, New York has been a constant choice for many Spanish cuisine lovers.
