I am a foodie out and out. And even while being tethered to my job in the heart of the big city, I do await the pleasure of weekends to indulge in my favorite pastime – eating out to my heart’s delight on great Hispanic foods. With the holiday season right ahead I can’t wait to get started on what comes like clockwork – family bonding time at some of the finest Spanish restaurants in NYC.
These family get-togethers turn out quite popular with all the lovely traditional food dished out in many great eating houses. It’s a great way to enjoy with close friends and family who share the love of Hispanic tables set out to perfection with tapas ruling the roost. The finger foods are the staple of all the Hispanic fare.
Usually I do prepare easy-to-eat tapas myself for the several occasions that warrant many a family do. With excellent Spanish wine flowing freely around I keep having small parties in many of the wonderful places that offer the seasons best. But then holiday partying in the December calls for visiting the many wonderful restaurants serving my favorite food.
Even in bitterly cold year-end finale, food enthusiasts like me will hunt for authentic Spanish eateries in good old New York. And that’s not too difficult considering the fact it’s one of the favored cuisines for city residents and non-residents, alike. Here is a list of my regular haunts that I’d like to pass on to kindred spirits. After all it’s the season for giving! So here goes – enjoy to your heart’s content.
