Yuca Bar:
Another day, another tapas restaurant. But for some of the best small plates and mango mojitos this side of Tijuana, yucan count on Yuca. Unfortunately, the bar portion of this place is a bit of an afterthought, which is a shame given the quality of the caipirinha and sangria, both of which are sold by the pitcher. Still, the sultry lighting and hot Latin barista will compel even the most staid individual to start catcalling. Sip margaritas while harkening back to a time when Alphabet City was a crack-infested crime scene waiting to happen—or as some refer to it—pre-gentrified.
A place to visit early in the evening for tapas and great wine or late at night for a night cap. The inside is cozy, but I would recommend the outside in the summer, great people watching.
