| This lively tapas restaurant from José Andrés is around the corner from the Shakespeare Theater and a block from the Verizon Center. No surprise that it's always busy, but tables turn over quickly, so the wait usually isn't as long as it looks. Besides, the fun doesn't really start until later in the evening, when the place is full of jaleo (Spanish slang for commotion). There are lots of entrées, but ordering a table full of small plates and washing them down with a bottle of sherry or a pitcher of sangrÃa is what's fun about this place. The selection changes seasonally but usually includes sausage with white beans, organic Tuscarora Farm mushrooms sauteéd with garlic and herbs, Spanish cold cuts and boiled octopus with pee wee potatoes, pimentón and olive oil. |
