Malagón Mercado y Taperia
Spanish
Shelves stocked with wine and imported pantry goods line the walls of this small Spring Street tapas bar, which holds a Michelin star without looking remotely like it's trying. The Spanish menu stays simple on purpose, leaning on precision over performance. The all-Spanish wine list is genuinely interesting, and the room has the settled, lived-in feel of somewhere that's been confident for a long time.
