Salinas: A Tasty Taste of Spain
Recently re-opened after a one-year hiatus due to the pandemic, New York City’s award-winning Spanish themed Salinas is back to serving mouthwatering tapas and authentic regional dishes. Thanks to the deliciously divine collaboration of passionate proprietors who have extensively explored the streets of Spain and the renowned Executive Chef Luis Bollo, Salinas perfectly pairs an intricate menu with a vibrant ambiance.
As you begin to settle into your experience at Salinas, be sure to take notice of the chic glass ceiling garden that provides an opportunity to dine beneath the stars in the heart of the hustle and bustle of Manhattan’s Chelsea neighborhood. Commence your dinner with a Reina Del Huerto, a delicious and innovative drink featuring Heavensake Junmai Ginjo, Orchard Pear liqueur, basil cordial and lemon essence from Salinas’ extensive cocktail menu. In addition to signature cocktails, Salinas offers multiple types of sangria including red, white, rose and cava. The bar also serves high-quality Spanish wines including refreshing whites sourced from the Iberian Peninsula and a variety of medium to full body red vintages produced in the world-famous Rioja wine region of Spain.
Acknowledged by the New York Times with an impressive 2-star rating, you are sure to enjoy an intricate yet simplified tasting of delectable Spanish fare. Salinas’ menu showcases fresh, seasonal ingredients that include a variety of dishes and small plates such as the savory Tomatitos, made with farmer’s market tomatoes and Pan Tumaca with hojiblanca olive oil. Looking for something a little heartier? The herb-dusted hanger stewak and Arroz Vasco with salted cod risotto will take your taste buds to another level. Be sure to leave room for dessert as the Basque Cheesecake’s airy texture and torched appearance is a real treat for a well done sweet.
The sleek space of Salinas is sectioned into three distinct dining areas, including a tapas lounge and bar, a main dining room and a garden with a retractable roof as well as a gorgeous stone made fireplace. The design of the charming garden allows for outdoor dining to be enjoyed all year long. Another defining character of this lively establishment is the freshly picked flower arrangements that are used to achieve an eye-catching yet naturally fragrant, aesthetically pleasing vibe.
The impeccable attention to detail both in the dining area and in the dishes creates a seamless experience through design and delivery. Salinas is a must to try for anyone looking for an authentic Spanish experience in the heart of New York City.
