    1. Degustation

    At Degustation the best way to dine is the chef's ten course tasting, which quite literally fulfills the restaurant's namesake as careful, appreciative tasting of various foods. Those with a lighter appetite can choose from a range of petite plates of savory delicious bites.
    Renowned restaurant consultant Kate Edwards describes it as,"innovative and beautiful French and Spanish tapas served at a counter surrounding the kitchen... the chefs are this close,  you can see everything they prepare and the staff is terrific."

    3. Bar Basque

    This recently opened hotspot at the Eventi Hotel serves up satiating pinxtos, small refined tapas that are ubiquitous with the Basque region of Spain. Get the conversation going with Spicy Fried Spanish Green Olives Stuffed With Anchovy, followed by Yellowfin Tuna Tartare, with tomato veil, jamon toast and red wine caviar, and Acorn-Fed Fermin Iberian Ham Free Range, Dry Cured. With 32 wines-by-the glass you will be sure to find a perfect fit for each course. It's a fresh contrast of authenticity against an ambiance of lightning red and futuristic decor that would make the Jetson's feel right at home.

    4. The Hurricane Club

    Bring on the pu pu platters. These tapas-inspired small plates with a Polynesian spin are fresh and fabulous at the Hurricane Club. Insiders know for a luxurious royal treatment to order the King Kamehameha Platter.  As for pu pu a la carte, the Club's Coconut Shrimp is simply a must. Shredded coconut encases tender shrimp. For those dragon tongues in quest for fire the Stuffed Korean Fire Chilis and Homemade Pork Sausage will satisfy the crave.

    5. Turks & Frogs

    Dark, sultry and shades of red hues lit by flickering candlelight create an atmosphere for an exciting first date or mingling amongst old and new friends at Turks & Frogs in the West Village. Petite flavorful plates of hummus, olives, dolma, and various cheeses pair with a wide selection of fine white, red and rose wines. Traditionalists can heighten their experience with a glass of Albarino, Garnacha, or Viura. Sweet tooths can enjoy a glass of berry bursting sherry for a grand finale.
