BlackBook Lowdown
Village brownstone hiding sexy tapas spot. Menu starts Spanish, but gets haute creative in a hurry, picking up Middle Eastern flavors. Smoked eggplant and lebne dip with za'tar, lamb meatballs with spiced butternut squash foam, mussels in harissa broth. Or skip the agonizing decisions and just order the whole damn menu for $350. Sweet candlelit duplex, sneak through the kitchen for the upstairs alcove. Iron, wood beams, general Saragossa Manuscript aesthetic. Fireplace equals bonus aphrodisiac.
