Tapeo 29: Deep in the Lower East Side, Tapeo 29 has not only created the term “tapas bar-hopping,” but they’ve also made their dark and intimate space a necessary stop on such bourgeois-bohemian excursions. With wooden shutters on the windows and just a small sign painted on a wood door, Tapeo is an inviting offer. The wine list has some range and glasses go for roughly $7 a pour while bottles top out at $65. Authentic “queso de Espana” and smoked meat dishes are recommended and the wait staff is good about helping with mixes and matches. Forget about tapping a keg and chill out at Tapeo 29 instead. |
