Spain

Sports fans and tapas lovers alike might find a common ground at Spain, a Spanish restaurant where the game’s on and the drinks flow as freely as the conversation. The menu leans into the kind of hearty, shareable plates that pair just as well with a cold caña as they do with a post-work cocktail. Vegetarian options sit alongside classic comfort food, ensuring no one’s left out of the spread—whether it’s a quick takeout order or a lingering happy hour with friends.

Tucked along West 13th Street in a stretch of Greenwich Village where residential charm meets the hum of nightlife, the address—113 W 13th St, New York, NY 10011—puts it within easy reach of NYU’s campus and the High Line’s southern edge. The category here is unmistakably Spanish, but the vibe skews casual, with beer taps and wine lists designed for those who’d rather debate last night’s match than dissect a tasting menu. Need to call ahead? The number’s (212) 203-5719, though walk-ins are just as likely to find a spot at the bar.

What sets the place apart isn’t grandeur but practicality: coffee for the morning-after crowd, hard liquor for the late-night stories, and a map pin that’s easy to share when friends ask, “Where again?” Directions are a tap away, and the corner location means you’ll spot it before your phone even loads the route. Around here, it’s the kind of place where the check comes with a side of “Same time next week?”
