La Vara

The 12 Best Spanish Restaurants in NYC - New York - The Infatuation

"La Vara specializes in food inspired by the Jewish and Moorish cuisines of Southern Spain, and we love their mash-up dishes, like Cantabrian anchovies served in dukkah butter, and morros prensados, a beef jowl terrine with mustard-grape española and an herby pistachio salad. Come with someone who doesn't mind your anchovy breath: With lots of stuff to share and a long list of cocktails and Spanish and Portuguese wine, it’s a good de facto date night spot in Cobble Hill." - will hartman, willa moore, molly fitzpatrick, bryan kim
