Got a group? Head to Café Ba-Ba-Reeba!, which has been serving tapas and pinxtos (bite-sized tapas popular in Northern Spain) since before many Americans had uttered the words “small plate.” Here, you’ll share Spanish small plates galore in a loud and festive setting. Favorites include chorizo-wrapped Medjool dates and cheese, spicy potatoes, braised short ribs, paella, and too many others to list. Get tipsy with the rest of the crowd on pitchers of sangria while you debate whether or not you should order just one more plate. Ba-Ba-Reeba is also a great date spot, but try to come with other couples so that you can sample more items.
