Bar Jamón

Union Square, Flatiron District & Gramercy


Around the corner from big brother Casa Mono lies Mario Batali’s fun, communal Bar Jamón. Sniff, swill and sip your way across Spain’s wine terroirs while grazing on superb, Catalan-inspired tapas like chorizo and pickled peppers or calamari with a perfectly salty olive tapenade.
