Casa Mono – Spanish
This bustling Gramercy corner transports diners to a spirited Barcelona tapas bar, where the sizzle of the plancha and the aroma of charred seafood fill an intimate, tile-lined space alive with communal energy. Small plates bursting with bold, sun-drenched flavors are passed across marble counters, perfectly paired with a deep cellar of Spanish wines that celebrate the vibrant, rustic soul of the Iberian Peninsula.
