Boqueria

It's a shame that small plates are a trend?because it means that at some point, they will be out. However, so often, all one needs is a small taste of a dish?or a few dishes.

This was the case last week after a show I'd seen with a friend of mine. We were a little hungry and went to check out Boqueria, the Spanish spot that took over L'Acajou in October. The bustling locale, with raised communal tables, was filled with the scent of jamon,
toasting bread, and marinated antipasti. We immediately got sangria?rose and red?that was packed with apples, oranges, and grapes, and took a look at the menu. Squid with garbanzo beans, radishes, and eucalyptus, Serrano toasts, and padron peppers perked our interests and ultimately provided supreme satisfaction. Churros sealed the deal and we pinky-swore that we'd return before small plates were extinct.
