"We've been waiting on pins and needles for the arrival of Otoño Mercat, a conversa and wine bar from the owners of Otoño that's scheduled to open in Highland Park later this year. But until then, the original Otoño on Figueroa is already a great place to dip your toes into the world of tinned seafood. The menu features a short list of cans from Spanish producers—such as baby squid in ink, olive oil-cured tuna, and pickled mussels—served with warm bread from Bub & Grandma's. Enjoy them with a glass of vermouth and a few tapas and pretend you're taking in the street life in San Sebastián." - brant cox, garrett snyder
