El Quinto Pino
4.5
You can’t throw a chunk of chorizo without hitting a tapas bar in Manhattan these days, and that’s in part thanks to the work of Mani Dawes. A partner in the critically acclaimed Tia Pol, Dawes has now opened another tapas bar, El Quinto Pino. Located a block away from Tia Pol and half the size, the inviting, shoebox-size space is mostly standing room, with a handful of stools at the curved bar. The menu, from chef Alex Raij, is written on two chalkboards and—natch—pulls for pork: in salads (pig’s ear) and in sandwiches (jamon Serrano). The bar’s name, according to Dawes, translates to “in the boonies.” Judging by the jam-packed crowds at Tia Pol, “El Quinto Pino” may prove to be something of a misnomer.
