28. Jamonera

Chef Marcie Turney and partner Valerie Safran’s latest—a Spanish tapas joint and wine bar housed in the former home of Bindi—has reignited our love affair with small plates, thanks to its dimly lit decor, polished service and truly sexy food.

Can’t-miss dish: The smoky papas fritas with house-made sherry-vinegar hot sauce. They’re like french fries for grown-ups.

Drink This: Sherry. The servers are shockingly well versed on the extensive sherry list and can help you choose the glass that best suits your order.

Don’t overlook: The charcuteria platter. That, and any of the other tapas containing Ibérico ham.
