Boqueria Flatiron

Union Square, Flatiron District & Gramercy


A holy union between Spanish-style tapas and market-fresh fare, Boqueria woos the after-work crowd with a brilliant lineup of small plates and larger raciones. Lick lips and fingers over the likes of garlicky shrimp with brandy and guindilla pepper, or bacon-wrapped dates stuffed with almonds and Valdeón blue cheese. A smooth selection of Spanish wines tops it all off. ¡Buen provecho!
