replying to u/PinguinusImperialis: Two questions: How important is paella? It's really specialized to Valencia. Many Spanish restaurants in the city may feature it to appease expectations but they still won't do it well. For paella: * Unfortunately Casa Dani closed. La Nacional may be the next best paella up. A hell no for Socarrat. Bad food and ownership, but that's another story. For nonValencian but incredible Spanish food unlikely to have paella: * Tomino Taberna Gallega has incredible Galician food. They have an arroz caldoso that is different kind of seafood rice dish more on the soupy side. * Tixikito for basque food. I don't recall anything remotely close but I'm going to guess and say it's unlikely they have it. Don't fk with basque cuisine. Just eat their pintxos as is and be happy. * Casa Mono. Just had an incredible meal here. But again, more small bites. I doubt they'll have paella. * Salinas is stunning inside. One of the prettier places in the city imo. Good food as well. Don't recall paella. * Boqueria has paella. But it's very low on the list. Better for a drink and tapas in a pinch, but not a destination to go to. Wouldn't call it upscale. * Mercado Little Spain might have it? I still think of it more for tapas. Last question: if paella is non-negotiable, would you venture to the ironbound in Newark?

replying to u/One-Tumbleweed5980: Depends on where you go. If it looks like an IG trap, I just avoid it. I just went to TabeTomo. It was fantastic. I like the soba at Cocoron. Bar Moga is good too and pretty much the main place to get omurice . Love Los Tacos No.1, Birria Landia, and Shu Jiao Fu Zhou for quick service. My favorite dish in the city is the mussels in white wine at St Tropez - West Village. Trust me. The cream sauce is to die for. I haven't been a while, but I remember everything on the menu at SakaMai being good. It's a little more upscale. The wagyu sandwich is the star.
“We really enjoyed it. It's certainly the best Spanish food I've had in the city at that price point.”
