Tia Pol, New York

Dinner at Tia Pol means tapas, tapas and more tapas! There's no paella option or any other meal-sized plates of any kind. When you come here, you come here to tapa! You may start with a soup or salad, but then it's on to tapas both hot and cold. Hot specialties include perennial must-haves patatas bravas, salt cod 'n' potato puree, and especially the inky squid. Tapas of the cold variety include Spanish almonds, anchovies, and an octopus terrine. Brunches afford diners a chance to see the tapas philosophy at work on a different type of fare. Sample churros, brioches and croissants all augmented with sweet butter, chocolate or marmalade. Or go for any number of egg dishes or even a breakfast pork loin sandwich. At lunch, sandwiches are the star - though to be more precise, they're known as bocadillos.
