ALTA is booked up tonight, need another restaurant idea to take my bf out to dinner tonight.. HELP!

[LauraDora]

I was kinda in the mood for tapas tonight but ALTA is booked out, does anyone have any other suggestions for other restaurants like this?

I live in Murry Hill so would prefer to keep the restaurant below 40th, don't mind the LES or W Village though....

HELP!!

Il Posto Accanto on E. 2nd St. Italian wine and small plates. Nice atmosphere.

I second Il Posto.

There's also In Vino and Bar Jamon.

I think we've confused the OP enough.

Txikito on 9th Ave between 24th & 25th.

I second Txikito, although it can be hard to get a table if you got at peak times, since the place is not very large.

They have a bar, though, and if you want, you can also choose to sit and dine there, too.

[Bob Martinez]

They are also punishingly expensive, an order of magnitude pricier than the other other places being suggested. (Bar Veloce, Il Posto Accanto, etc.)

[LauraDora]

Thanks for the restaurant idea, had an AMAZING meal at Txikito on Fri night!!!

[Bob Martinez]

I'd add Bar Veloce to the list. They've got a location on 2nd Ave. in the East Village. In the Flatiron district Boqueria would work nicely as well.

pipa is a good option but might be hard to get into. good place to walk in put name down and have drink at bar. a cute small wine bar is ten belles. gottino might be a good option as well. don't know the menu but hear it is great.
