“Not everyone is lucky enough to have a Spanish-style siesta after lunch. But Dupont’s new Manhattan tapas transplant, Boqueria, could change that for D.C. diners. The month-old restaurant launched lunch service last week, with a menu of sandwiches, salads and tapas that practically demands a post-meal nap.”
“The versatile Spanish classic pan con tomate–which can be eaten all day, from breakfast into the week hours-is a cinch to prepare, requiring only ripe, meaty tomatoes, a fresh baguette, and good-quality olive oil.
“You’d be wise to pay attention to the blackboard and its specials, which are driven by farmers-market bounty. That’s where you’ll find the most exciting shares, which show off the ingenuity of chef Marc Vidal, who shuttles between DC and New York each week.”
“It was a gutsy move for this Manhattan tapas bar to make its way to Washington, an already small-plates-mad town. Turns out that keeping the earth-toned dining rooms and Carrera-marble bar loud and crowded wasn’t a problem.”
“Sample some Spanish cured meats and cheeses. Have a glass of Sangria…or one of the many affordable Spanish wines. Let your appetite wander while your feet dangle. That’s the tapas spirit, and at Boqueria it’s found a Spanish home.”
