Tapas!

I found this gem before an exciting evening of competitive skeeball.  Located in Murray Hill, it's a stylish pleasant discovery.

I was there during their happy hour which had an amazing selection of cheaply priced drinks.  Note, they have happy hour daily which some restaurants opt to not do on the weekend.  Always a winning choice.

Daily from 5pm-8pm this is sure to make anyone happy

My friends had the sangria and I opted for the standard red wine which was a nice rich flavor.  Normally, during happy hour you're handed a disgusting house wine and this wasn't the case.  They have a great outdoor seating area which is spaced out so I didn't feel like I was a centimeter away from the next diner.  The waitress was pleasant and didn't hover.  On a beautiful day it was a little piece of heaven.

We shared some marinated olives and brussel sprouts.  The brussel sprouts were marinated in honey and mustard which was a sup rising combination which I might have to make at home.

Tapa's, flatbread, and wine oh my!

My friend ordered the flatbread with dates, honey, and mozzarella.  Blending the savory and sweet it looked delightful.  She gave it rave reviews all around.

Brussels you won't be forced to eat

I highly recommend stopping by this off the beaten path wine bar.  If it's a gorgeous day out-side and you're hankering for a chat sesh with the ladies or even going on a date this is a perfect spot.  Just make sure to get there before 6pm when all of the seats are taken.
