foodie finds :: boqueria

boqueria
53 w 19th st.
new york, ny 10011

what a find - what a treasure - what a gem - what an experience - what a blessing - finally - a new alternative to the usual digs in the chelsea/flatiron area! i can't even begin to tell you how much my mouth danced for joy over the foods i had this evening.

i wish i had had a heartier appetite as i wanted to sample everything on the menu. the lamb - melts in your mouth - the bacon wrapped almond stuffed dates - unbelievable - the wine and cheese selection - out of this world. the sangrias were a nice touch - 3 kinds to chose from - i got the good old classic red variety - um um good!

price - not too bad - under $100 for 2 of us including wine. the staff - very nice - very attractive - very knowledgeable of the menu and the features. the scene - kinda rockin' for a monday but not too over the top.

I walked out of there pretty full - very happy - an very very eager to go back again. since my usual spot for monday happy hour is splash (just around the corner on 17th and 6th) - it may become my monday tasting menu on a frequent basis.

yummy to the tummy good!
