Spanish flames
A mainstay on the Spanish circuit, Latin Quarter recently revamped its menu and redecorated the backroom lounge. It’s the kind of place that demands filling with the aromatic smoke of Cuban cigars, with the clanking of too many Mojito glasses and the boisterous laughs of Spaniards at cocktail hour. The kind of place for sangria and tapas. For Argentinian Malbec and Iberian ham. For celebrating, if not a bull fight, at least life. The new tapas menu offers unique interpretations of traditional flavours. On the light side there is tomato and tuna in olive oil ($3); on the heavy, roasted meat cannelloni ($6.5), a thin crepe filled with shredded beef and chicken, garnished with slices of parmesan and smothered in a soft cheese sauce. Latin Quarter, corner of Streets 178 and 19.
