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

"For classic tapas and a glass of fiery Galician red, head directly to Tomiño Taberna Gallega in Soho, which was founded in 2017 by a trio of brothers from Spain’s northwestern region. The spacious restaurant has plenty of room for groups, but also works well for a date—with worn wooden rafter that recall an old wooden ship, sailing to faraway lands where prawns swim freely in ajillo, slicks of sherry vinegar shine in a gazpacho lagoon, and casks of tinto float on by. Don’t skip the arroz negro here. It smells like a piece of burnt, ocean-soaked driftwood in the best way possible, with crunchy, charred squid. If you regularly stain your clothes, watch out: the squid ink is tougher than the mightiest Tide pen." - will hartman, willa moore, molly fitzpatrick, bryan kim
