When our daughter was studying abroad in Barcelona, one of my favorite events was enjoying the many tapas bars in the city. Everywhere you looked there were people socializing over their favorite beverage and tapas. As dinner is served so late in Spain, tapas became a kind of appetizer before the 9-11 dinner hour. I found that I relished tapas so much, that I did not even need dinner after that.
We found a wonderful tapas restaurant in Chelsea called Tia Pol within talking distance of the High Line Park. They serve a delicious array of tapas with my favorite . . . aoli sauce, which, I might add can be used on just about anything! Although no one can make empanada like my Cuban mother-in-law, I appreciate the empanadas served as tapas.

Entertaining at home with tapas can be a great experience. Ask guests to experiment with making a tapa or two to share. Pair tapas with a Rioja or Tempranillo wine to get the whole vibe.
