Spanish or Turkish near the Whitney?
Going to the Biennial this Friday and am looking for Spanish within reasonable walk/short cab.
Spanish: Malaga? El Porron? Solera?
I'm a bit scared of all 3 based on general online reviews, seem quite mixed.
Turkish: Uskudar? Beyoglu?
I prefer authentic atmosphere to trendy but if the food is better, trendy is fine.
Help!

I used to live close to Uskudar and went there many times. The food was always good and it wasn't expensive. It was a reliable neighborhood option, nothing out of this world, but good. But I haven't been there in 5 years or so... Perhaps someone will have a more recent experience to report.

I'd encourage you to get out of that immediate vicinity. Is this for Friday dinner? Lunch?
The closest one I can think of is La Fonda del Sol (haven't been). Otherwise, I'd steer you to Txikito (Chelsea) or Casa Mono (Gramercy) but both would have longish waits for dinnertime.
