El Porrón

Manhattan sophistication meets old world Spanish flair in this Upper East Side establishment. Join Mr. G, owner and executive Chef and his brother Mario co-owner ( owner of La Viña in the Poconos), as they welcome you into the Basque region with savory seafood and robust Riberia's. Let the charming Wine Director, Diego, demonstrate how the “porrón” is used. Half carafe, half watering can, this Catalan glass-blown vessel has been used to quench the thirst of Spaniards for hundreds of years. Pair your “porrón” with menu highlights such as Gambas al Ajillo (garlic-bathed shrimp), Codorniz Asada (roasted quail in a fig and raisin reduction) or the famous Albondigas de Ternera (veal meatballs in a leek, carrot and celery sauce.)
