"La Palapa del Parian, opened by Nancy Diaz-Lopez and Ramon Luis 'Wicho' Diaz in early 2020, offers a unique dining experience inspired by Mexican plazas. The restaurant underwent a dramatic renovation after a fire in March 2021, featuring rustic wood paneling, a brick and granite bar, and equipale barrel chairs imported from Mexico. The menu includes a variety of traditional and unique Mexican dishes, alongside a robust selection of tequila-based drinks. The restaurant regularly hosts elegant dinner parties, tequila and mezcal tastings, and other special events." - Serena Maria Daniels
