Last night was Jamie and my 2nd anniversary and, to follow tradition, we had dinner at Las Ramblas. This is a tiny tapas place on West 4th. We had our first date here, so we came last year for our anniversary and again last night. It's so cute, we probably should go more often, but now it's kind of established as our once a year special date spot.
It's a great place for a first date! Intimate, but crowded enough that there's a good atmosphere and a little noise so it's not awkward. The food is flavorful and it's fun to share, and the red pear sangria is great - especially the booze soaked slices of pear in there.
We ordered:
Brochetas De Res-grilled skewers of beef in a tempranillo wine reduction
Banderillas Con Chorizo De Pato-mini skewers of duck sausage, quail eggs, & pearl onions (above, very pretty)
Piquillos Con Morcilla-spanish peppers stuffed with morcilla, saffron rice, & manchego cheesE
FRIED cuddle fish, just like calamari, but a little less chewy (I had already eaten a lot of it before I remembered to take a picture - can't go wrong with crispy, fried things!)
Everything was served on a bed of fried veggie and tortilla strips. Yum! And it's not terribly expensive.
