My friend and I love people watching in Greenwich Village. And we just found the best place to do it! Las Ramblas Tapas Bar is on W. 4th Street near 6th Avenue. It's a small place, but "oh, so authentic"! We felt like we were in Barcelona, Spain. The garlic shrimp was delicious, and came sizzling from the kitchen. The Chorizo con Alubias, which combined chorizo and white beans, also was presented sizzling at the table. The cured meats were fantastic, especially the Serrano ham. Our favorite dish was Spanish Tuna dish. It had unbelievable flavor and was seasoned perfectly. We shared a pitcher of Red Pear Sangria. We didn't think it was very strong when we were drinking it, but when we got up to leave we both felt a bit tipsy. The Sangria was a great companion to the tapas we had. Service was excellent. We picked the tapas we did after having a nice conversation with our server, who was as friendly as she was knowledgeable. I definitely recommend this place for people who love to have many great tasting dishes all in one meal! And if you people watch, the location is a super bonus.
Pros: Great Food, Awesome Sangria, Perfect People Watching Spot
Cons: Sits only 30 people.
