Sobremesa ·
In Spain, the meal isn’t over when the plates are cleared. Sobremesa is the time after: the conversation that runs much longer than planned.
This is what we’ve overheard guests talking about this week…
🎬 Glenn Close speaking Spanish in La Bola Negra. We have notes, and they’re mostly applause.
🎤 Rosalía accepts a Billboard and goes straight to La Doctora Polo: “ningún hello ni ningún good afternoon.” If you grew up with Caso Cerrado on in the background, you heard it in her voice.
🏆 Patti Smith takes the Princess of Asturias Award, and Oviedo answers with thousands of people singing “People Have the Power” back to her. Swipe for the video.
🎶 Cardi B behind the desk at Tiny Desk. Three feet from the bookshelf, still at full volume.

With “La Bola Negra”, the new film about his Federico García Lorca, drawing attention to the artist’s life, we find ourselves fascinated by his time in our hometown.
When García Lorca arrived to New York in June 1929, he was 31 years old and already famous in Spain. He moved into John Jay Hall at Columbia, barely speaking English, and spent the next nine months writing what many consider one of the most important Spanish-language poetry collection of the 20th century: “Poeta en Nueva York. “
The book wasn’t published until after his death. Neither were these drawings, which he made alongside the poems. They’re surrealist, strange and revealing. Most people who know Lorca’s poetry have never seen them.

La Bola Negra opens in New York today, and nationwide in just a couple weeks. It’s the film everyone will be talking about this fall.
Go see it, then bring the conversation to our table: a bottle of something Spanish and plenty of plates (and opinions) to share

A day in the life of a croqueta.
It all starts with a thick bechamel stirred methodically over a low flame. Then they are cooled, molded, breaded, fried. Finally they’re ready for their spot at the center of the table.

We might not eat esliders in Espain…
….but a little burger bocadillo with sobrasada-bacon jam is worth a small departure from tradition.
Angus beef sliders, crispy Manchego, garlic allioli.

What people say
Spanish restaurants are known for their lively atmosphere, vibrant flavors, and delicious tapas. Boqueria on West 19th Street in New York is a perfect example of a Spanish restaurant that embodies all of these qualities. The Barcelona-inspired tapas bar serves up classic Spanish dishes with a contemporary twist, along with seasonal specials and curated cocktails.
One of the standout features of Boqueria is their commitment to using fresh, high-quality ingredients in all of their dishes. This is evident in their Valencia cocktail, which features Grove infused with orange, blood orange, mandarin, fresh lemon, lemongrass, and ginger - a refreshing summer drink that pays homage to the region's famous oranges.
Their spring menu offers an array of tempting options that are hard to resist. From the Pepino cocktail made with BCN Gin, Atxa Dry Vermouth, cucumber, mint, lime, and honey to the Carne a La Parilla - hanger steak served with black garlic almond romesco, lime crema, charred onions and asparagus - every dish is bursting with flavor.
Boqueria's socarrat - the crispy bottom layer of paella - is also worth mentioning. It's so good that customers fight over the last spoonful! And if you're looking for something fun to do while sipping on your cocktail or enjoying your meal at Boqueria, they even offer cocktail-making classes in Chicago and Nashville.
Overall, Boqueria on West 19th Street is a must-visit for anyone looking for an authentic Spanish dining experience in New York City. With its lively atmosphere and delicious food and drinks made from fresh ingredients, it's no wonder why this tapas bar has become such a popular destination among locals and tourists alike.
