West Village, Manhattan · restaurant
A traditional West Village restaurante that opened in 1941 and has barely changed since. Sangria by the pitcher, paella for the table, and a churro-and-chocolate dessert order that nobody argues with. The dining room has been running the same reliable formula for longer than most of its regulars have been alive, and the ageless career bartenders will make you think you're dining in an Andalusian Overlook hotel.
