What to Eat at Barraca, Serving Tapas and More From Jesús Nuñez
Gastroarte’s Jesús Nuñez is headed downtown, where he’ll helm the kitchen at Spanish restaurant Barraca, opening early next week. Hector Sanz of Rayuela and Macondo, a fellow Spaniard, is behind the place, which — in true Iberian fashion — will serve tapas and more until 3 a.m., along with seasonal sangrias. It’s dinner only to start, with brunch, lunch, and outdoor seating planned. Scope out our slideshow to see the lamb-loin-and-manchego sandwich, seafood paella, flatbread, and more, and check out the menu below.
