Boqueria

53 West 19th St.; 171 Spring St.

How have we not gone here yet? We were even minutes away from the Flatiron location during our rain-soaked pursuit of hot food earlier today. YUM. When I was in Barcelona last December I went to the real Boqueria marketplace on Las Ramblas but I was too scared to order tapas because the counters were so crowded and I don't speak Spanish. Now is my chance: blistered shishito peppers, fried quail eggs, patatas bravas, baby squid. Locations in the Flatiron and Soho. Let's go to there when it gets really hot out.
