Harlem Bakey Dulcería Expands With Enoteca

"A forthcoming wine‑focused tapas bar created by the bakery's owners with a Mexican partner, featuring an interior patio and a sidewalk terrace planted with gardenias, cardinal flowers, and hibiscus. The wine list—nearly 40 selections—emphasizes Chilean varietals such as Cabernet Sauvignon and País alongside blends with garnacha and carignan. The small plates program offers ten tapas served individually or as flights of three, mixing pan‑Latin influences: a trio of meatballs that includes a Chilean albóndiga (ground meat with rice, eggs, and herbs), a Basque‑inspired albóndiga, and a Brazilian stuffed version; a “corn trilogy” of Mexican tamale, Chilean humita, and Brazilian pamonha; and coastal Chilean dishes like machas baked with Parmesan, oysters with crab gratin, garlic prawns, and cochayuyo seaweed. Service aims to be warm and welcoming so Chileans feel at home while appealing to a broad audience." - Muriel Alarcón Luco
