Last night we went to one of our favorite tapas restaurants in the city. The weather was perfect; low 70's, slightly breezy, the sort of clean, fresh air I longed for throughout the humid summer. Our first order of business: a pitcher of the best Red Sangria we've found. We "shopped" from the specials menu, which was fun. Not to mention delicious.
Our picks:
* Almond-crusted manchego, fried till "melty"
* Buttery breaded shrimp with a spicy chili sauce and lemon
* Flaky dorado, served almost plain, with it's own juice and a little citrus accenting the super-moist consistency
* Salt cod fritters served with creamy lemon sauce
* Potato and cheese croquettes drizzled with black truffle oil and bits
* Super-thin chicken on crostini with parmesan and mozzarella broiled on top
But my favorite? A hot apple tart, made with locally-grown fruit, topped with a crunchy cinnamon-sugar mixture and, oh yeah, vanilla ice cream.
