Midtown’s Restaurant Row just got busier with the addition of this tapas-and-sangria bar, which offers about eight homemade sangrias (ranging from mango to strawberry-and-peach) and over three-dozen tapas plates. “The great thing about tapas is, you’re not stuck to one dish,” says co-owner Benny Castro, a native of northern Spain. “The bad thing is that a lot of new restaurants are going funkier—adding creams and sauces—which is fine, but it’s breaking away from tradition.” Castro considers himself a purist, preferring instead to stick to simple ingredients: olive oil, garlic, paprika. “I like to keep it the way it was meant to be made,” he says.
