On Sunday, May 5, we were in Manhattan to participate in Reza's showing of his animation class of 2013 film festival. At the end of the show, around 10:00 PM, we decided to go to a Tapas bar and have a quick dinner. I looked up on the Yelp and found in the vicinity of the theater in Chelsea, a Paella Bar. We decided to walk the short 3 blocks to the 19th Street.

The Socarrat Pallea Bar was half way on the 19th Street with a few diners still around. We ordered three tapas including the shrimp, the potato tapas and the pork belly. I ordered a Granche wine from Spain, Al Alataya, 2010. Wow! This wine was fantastic and went well with all the various tapas, especially the Pok Belly.
