We wondered the Upper East Side in search of sangria and somehow got delivered to this place right under the 59th street bridge in the back of the official restaurant van. I guess their need for customers and their convoluted ways of attracting business should’ve been a hint. The restaurant was cool and clean and with the bathrooms of a livable size I have no complaints but one - the price for a pitcher of sangria – a stunning $45. By the time we have consumed the two pitchers, the bill, though large, could not spoil our night or our appetite for pizza that we got about two hours later. I guess that’s the deal with places that serve tapas – you pay for the ambiance so to say, and for large, alcohol soaked chunks of fruit.
