Serious Eats: New York
Bruni Finally Gets Around to Trying the City's Best Paella
Paella from La Nacional
Frank Bruni reviews Socarrat tomorrow. I had a very good meal there early on, the day before I reviewed Socarrat owner Lolo Manso's other restaurant, La Nacional. Socarrat is a tiny restaurant. In fact, it's really just a long bar with seats on both sides. The bulk of the menu is devoted to different kinds of paella, and I can tell you that Lolo Manso has no peer in New York when it comes to cooking paella. I have no idea what odds Ben Leventhal is laying on Bruni's review over at Eater, but I think it will be a very positive one star review. I would be very surprised if Bruni bestowed two stars on what is a very modest restaurant. But, you never know.
