Rayuela

Name means "hopscotch" in Spanish, but no naughty schoolgirls in sight, unfortunately. Instead well-manicured urban-suburban lacrosse mom digs on a still somewhat-dingy LES block. Multi-level, with real live olive tree as money shot. "Freestyle Latino" fare delivers big flavors. Ceviche raw bar serves fresh lobster in coconut-lemongrass-lemon leaf-sage-ginger marinade. Cocktails courtesy of Junior are the addiction. Don't miss the Pina Partida with cucumber, pineapple, and the devil (tequila).
