Here on the North American east coast, it’s not uncommon for the verdant leaves of summer oaks to fall without notice late in the year—for the “I NY” towels of lounging tourists dotting Central Park to fade into blankets of freshly fallen snow over the course of a long weekend, leaving us scrambling to unpack our winter wardrobes and wondering if Autumn has up and abandoned us altogether.
CROQUETAS DE JAMÓN IBÉRICO
Iberian Ham Croquettes
Marc arrived at Boqueria eager to add new dishes to the menu, but his most important mission was to pick apart and perfect Boqueria guest favorites. He obsessed over the croquetas. He knew that a passable croqueta could still be easy to love, but that an expertly executed croqueta is an irresistible glimpse into another dimension.
BUÑUELOS DE BACALAO
Salt Cod Fritters
These crispy bites are your one-way ticket to Spain.
Visit San Sebastián and alongside jars of vinegary guindilla peppers and ropes of chorizo, you’ll find planks of dried salt cod, or bacalao.
