Sure, you could do the desirable task of finding the best tapas in New York City — a city that is rife with neighborhood tapas joints — by simply eating your way through the myriad of options.

And if celebrity chefs\/restaurateurs are your thing, of course New York has a couple options. He of the Crocs and odd ponytail, Mario Batali, is well known for his Casa Mono, which specializes in Andalucian fare and has enough bottles of wine on hand to ensure that even those with the highest of tolerances may be tricked into thinking they’ve landed on the Iberian peninsula.<\/p>\n

And finally, Bar Basque, from Jeffrey Chodorow, takes tapas to the upscale in this Midtown establishment. Though the food may elevate the senses, the atmosphere isn’t exactly authentic Spain (the NY Times memorably described it as a “strange, glass-walled and tube-shaped spaceship” in its one-star review this February<\/a>).<\/p>\n
