What a great find this board is! I am originally from Madrid and finding this site is like visiting my home a little every day. I now live in New York. How nice this is!

Pues, ¡bienvenida! Siendo de Madrid, seguro que tienes mucho que compartir...¡adelante abogada!

Muchisimas gracias, CaliBasco! I am not a lawyer though, business development analyst at a very large corporate law firm in Manhattan. I look forward to many an interchange on one of my favorite (if not THE favorite) subjects in the world --- Madrid!

Gracias otra vez y hasta pronto!

Hey--another New Yorker, and a business development analyst at that! I'm in investor relations (by day--freelance essayist and reporter on my own time) so we're geographic AND professional neighbors. Good to have some company here from someone nearby--welcome!

Well, let's have a NYC reunion for MM board members! If they did it in LA... how's that tapas bar downtown, XUNTA? being a total gallego-maniatica, i could go for some pulpo y un buen vino do albarin~o...

Count me in!!!. I'm also in NYC.

What's the scene for Spanish restaurantes and bares in NYC? Rgf was making me salivate with the pulpo references...I too am a Galizaphile!

Hola y buenos dias! What a warm reception! I'm glad to see that there are some of you here in Manhattan! The situation for good (read: authentic) Spanish (and I mean REAL Spanish) bars and restaurants here in NYC is, in my opinion, pretty good. I will gather a list of my favorites and post. Mmmmm... pulpo.... don't get me started!!

Xunta is a really wonderful tapas bar on the lower East side of Manhattan! When I've been there, I have felt like I was in Galicia! The whole ambiente is so great, it gave me a litte morrin~a!!...

I've been to Meigas on Hudson and they had very good food and a great selection of wines and finos. Has anyone been to Toledo on 36th Street? I've walked by it many times but have never eaten there. I'll post some other faves later.

Hasta luego!
