Pampano: When 6pm rolls around, your internal dinner bell is probably already shouting, “Feed me, Seymour!” And while you probably didn’t idle away the workday dreaming about pan-seared scallops served with papas bravas, crispy serrano ham and orange-oregano mojo (yeah, we had to look that one up too), once your teeth sink into this fluffy yet decadent entree, it will consume your dinnertime fantasies for days to come. Lushes can couple this (and other entrees par excellence) with the signature Margarita Pampano (el jimador blanco and hibiscus, $12) while oenophiles rejoice in an impressive list that will have even the most seasoned sippers raising their phones to Tweet the praises of the albariño ($14). Nestled between the din of slurred frat-boy musings of Murray Hill and the bustling energy of Midtown East, Pampano’s demeanor is unmatched. Its swanky yet rustic vibe (think: lots of white, cozy bar, second-story outdoor patio), somehow manages to be simultaneously ideal for out-of-town visitors, family, friends or a date. So whether it’s an especial occasion or you just want to throw back a few bebidas, make Pampa-no a Pampa-yes.
