NYC's first-ever pintxo crawl runs September 5-13 across 15 restaurants, with each $10-$12 pintxo paired with a beer or wine from Cueva Nueva or Estrella Galicia. Collect a passport, hit as many spots as you want, and vote for your favorite to crown the Pintxo Crawl Champion.
The Ibérico jamón behind the counter has been aging longer than most New York restaurants have been open, and the shelves are lined with what you wish you'd stuffed in your carry-on from Spain: Don Bocarte anchovies, Manchego in three stages, tinned mussels worth their shelf space. The tapas café in back turns those same imports into bocadillos and croquetas, and on Saturday afternoons pintxo parties fill the front of the shop.
