"Anti-posh" is how the Spanish newspaper "El País" describes Mercado de los Mostenses, situated in a gritty section of Malasaña one block north of Gran Vía—you won't find any latte art, kale smoothies, or craft beer here. But in the age of cookie-cutter Eataly-esque food halls, it's refreshing to see a market that's remained unapologetically of the people, by the people, and for the people. Don't leave without nabbing a pork-filled green plantain dumpling from Asadero Miguel Ángel or a cauldron of wonton soup at Lily, a Chifa (Chinese–Peruvian fusion) hole-in-the-wall." - Benjamin Kemper
